Exchanging /boot to change kernel?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

currently I have armbian installed on an SD-Card with kernel 3.4.112-sun7i on Banana Pi. I'd like to test how armbian works installed on SATA with vanilla-kernel. Therefore I would install armbian (Vanilla) on SATA. Switching between both systems would then require a shutdown, exchange of SD-Card and startup the system again.

 

Since i am a lazy person I'd like to know whether it is possible to use the SD-Card with 3.4.112 and just exchange the folder /boot with the one from the SD-Card I installed armbian-Vanilla on SATA (to avoid standing up, walking to the banana pi which is located in another room, exchanging the SD-Card, rebooting, walking back and sitting down again...)?

 

The idea behind is to easily switch between both systems just by exchanging the /boot folder and then rebooting the system (without having to walk around...).

 

Would there be any problems with this procedure?

 

Best, Bernie_O
