The update not make the magic line:

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a "0x40008000" -e "0x40008000" -n "Linux kernel" -d zImage uImage

[Upgrade Error with Armbian 5.00 on Cubieboard2 running from NAND]

For me, after every update I must do:

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a "0x40008000" -e "0x40008000" -n "Linux kernel" -d zImage uImage 

The system never builds uImage and I not have disk space problems.

Same error with `linux-jessie-root-cubietruck`.

Manually workaround works like a charm. BUT THE SYSTEM DEAD AFTER REBOOT!!!!

# cd /tmp
# apt-get download linux-jessie-root-cubietruck
# dpkg -r linux-jessie-root-cubietruck
# dpkg -i linux-jessie-root-cubietruck_5.00_armhf.deb
# rm linux-jessie-root-cubietruck_5.00_armhf.deb

[Cubietruck RTC problem with Jessie kernel 4.3.3]

To fix "Cannot change data mode on remount" and fix the degraded init state.

 

Initially, there are these default options present:

# tune2fs -l /dev/nand2 | grep Default
Default mount options:    user_xattr acl
Default directory hash:   half_md4

Add the data=writeback to this list:

# tune2fs /dev/nand2 -o journal_data_writeback

And it'll look like this:

# tune2fs -l /dev/nand2 | grep Default
Default mount options:    journal_data_writeback user_xattr acl
Default directory hash:   half_md4

Then, even the option in /etc/fstab in not really neccessary but you can left it there.

 

I think that this can be added into install script.
