hi-ko

I tried to update my odroidm1 to 23.11.2 (from 23.8.1) by fresh install using Armbian_23.11.2_Odroidm1_bookworm_current_6.1.68 flashed to sdcard but when booting the device (holding recovery button) I see "Gave up waiting for root file system device." The same issue when using the other CLI images flashed to sdcard. Any idea how to fix this? When mounting the sdcard from a ubuntu system the uuid seem to match and the sdcard is mountable.

unfortunately not - I suggested samsung support to upload the firmware there, but they suggested to send the ssd in. after a week it came back with new firmware ...

Thanks @Werner, I understand that this has no real "hard" effects and it's caused by using the ubuntu apt sources. I think the armbian version should better not be written into the distro specific release files, but into an independant armbian file (which needs to be introduced ...). Do you also have a hint for the upgrades? Since I installed the ubuntu (Jammy) variant I guess there will no upgrade somewhen later since ubuntu upgrade manager may not work. Is debian then the better decision since others had success with debian's `full-upgrade`? When I installed armbian, I didn't think about the possible upgrade consequences ... Feel free to move the subject to another hardware independant forum.

Sorry, if this is not odroid specific but I don't know if this issue is a armbian generic one: I guess also in armbian running apt update && apt upgrade is the correct way to install updates? When I run that from a Armbian 23.02.2 system I will get a Ubuntu 22.04 afterwards. before: cat /etc/issue Armbian 23.02.2 Jammy \l after: lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS Release: 22.04 Codename: jammy Similar question: What is the intended way to do an armbian upgrade? I did not find any hint in the documentation. In my current use case installing all from scratch would not be a big issue since I use the odroid to run lxd containers on a separate disk but if someone installs and configures a lot of software a fresh reinstall is maybe a big task. Thanks

Unfortunately there is no firmware update tool from samsung which runs on aarch64.

First, thanks to you guys for the great work you are doing for armbian! I am quite impressed and very happy to be able to run my odroid devices (c2, m1) on the latest kernel with zfs and lxd! What I'm wondering: since there is no such thing as do-release-upgrade in armbian: What are your best practices for upgrades to avoid being forced to always install and configure everything from scratch? Since I run most everything in lxd containers and use zfs on a separate disk, upgrading is as simple as installing/compiling zfs and lxd and restoring the lxd databases, but maybe there is a better approach besides reinstalling and compiling packages?

a big thumbs up! With the odroidm1 sid-build I managed for the first time to successfully test my use case with lxd and zfs! Only problem I had: After installing the zfsutils-linux the kernel module was missing: # /sbin/modprobe zfs modprobe: FATAL: Module zfs not found in directory /lib/modules/5.19.0-odroid-arm64 I got it working by manually installing/compiling the kernel module: apt install linux-headers-arm64 zfs-dkms Is this an issue in the debian upstream or in the armbian build? I am looking forward to a first release!
