Freezing kernel upgrades just means you can stay with a stable kernel and an update command will leave your kernel as is (in this case remain on the current edge kernel while updating the rest of the system). It's easy to unfreeze and update when there's a new LTS kernel available.

Hey pdieguez, I've layed out the process in the OMV forum here https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/54000-catastrophic-wireguard-install/&postID=403856#post403856

Done. Thanks

Hi Igor, any developments with these pre-rolled images? Can I request a Renegade OMV image or will I need to wait for an LTS? Thanks for your time, Oscar

Short summary of process to follow: I burn Armbian with Etcher, update etc and install OMV. From here I use armbian-install (or armbian-config) to transfer to the eMMC. This is the only tool I've found that makes the eMMC transfer simple (thank you!). The eMMC system boots and seems fine but OMV is not functional (though it works fine on the SD it was transferred from). As a result I always just transfer the raw Armbian install to eMMC, boot from there and install OMV direct to the eMMC but it would be very handy to be able to transfer from an SD with a working OMV install fully configured as backup.

Armbian install unfortunately not working to transfer an OMV install on a 3328 renegade board. It boots but OMV is non functional (and seemingly irreparable)

the OMV plugin requires the meta package, that's the reason there's a problem

the tools package is part of a default install, there's no need to install it manually

I did try this Werner, it still installed a vanilla debian kernel Tools is installed by default, it's the meta package that's the problem and the OMV plugin requires the meta package

I intend getting to this in time (also with OpenWRT) but for the moment I'm not in a position to do it. If there's an image that'll boot on a renegade board then at least I can explore

I think I know how to do it. Install wireguard, then goto arbian-config and install the kernel and headers, that way you overwrite the kernel from the wireguard installation.

Thanks SteeMan, wireguard-tools show as installed, I think the metapackage needs installation (which I'd guess is why I can actually install the package without getting a message it's already present). My issue is that the OMV plugin installation results in the same unbootable state. I'm trying to save myself the time of reinstalling OMV every time and work out why a wireguard install renders Armbian unbootable. Igor (and Werner) have observed it probably has to do with dkms packages which I suppose is why wireguard installation defaults to installing a linux package which I guess installs an incompatible kernel. I'd been hoping that the pre-rolled Arbian/OMV images might solve this problem but it's looking unlikely unless the OMV-Extras team can suggest a solution.

Unfortunately apt install --no-install-recommends wireguard doesn't help. I started by installing headers first which seemed to skip a kernel install (at least I got a – autoinstall for kernel 6.1.0-23-rt-arm64 was skipped since the kernel headers for this kernel do not seem to be installed – message) but still no boot on restart. I even tried installing edge kernel and headers which worked for me last time but as soon as Wireguard's installed it refuses to boot.

Would any of these OMV images run on a 3328 Renegade? I can run the Libre portability script so figure I just need it to boot

I'll hook into this in the next few days, thanks for your time nutting it out it'll be great to finally have it sorted Best regards, Oscar
