TRS-80 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Just doing maintenance tonight on my boxen, regular `apt upgrade && apt update` on ODROID-XU4 and I noticed Debian upgraded to latest kernel (5.8 or whatever). I go look in boot and notice `uInitrd' is pointing at the new Debian version (instead of Armbian version): drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 15 19:53 . drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Nov 15 19:50 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65 Nov 15 19:28 armbianEnv.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1536 Jun 4 15:24 armbian_first_run.txt.template -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38518 Jun 4 15:24 boot.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4882 Jun 4 15:24 boot-desktop.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12479 Jun 4 15:24 boot.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 64 Jun 4 15:24 boot.scr -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 151722 Oct 18 15:42 config-4.14.202-odroidxu4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 238874 Apr 23 2020 config-5.5.0-0.bpo.2-armmp-lpae -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 246529 Sep 26 13:31 config-5.8.0-0.bpo.2-armmp-lpae lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Nov 15 19:49 dtb -> dtb-4.14.202-odroidxu4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 15 19:49 dtb-4.14.180-odroidxu4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 15 19:49 dtb-4.14.202-odroidxu4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jun 4 15:24 dtb.old -> dtb-4.14.180-odroidxu4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7011311 Nov 15 19:50 initrd.img-4.14.202-odroidxu4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21912634 Nov 15 19:51 initrd.img-5.8.0-0.bpo.2-armmp-lpae -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 15 19:50 .next -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2394556 Oct 18 15:42 System.map-4.14.202-odroidxu4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4131671 Apr 23 2020 System.map-5.5.0-0.bpo.2-armmp-lpae -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 83 Sep 26 13:31 System.map-5.8.0-0.bpo.2-armmp-lpae lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Nov 15 19:53 uInitrd -> uInitrd-5.8.0-0.bpo.2-armmp-lpae # <--- see here -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7011375 Nov 15 19:50 uInitrd-4.14.202-odroidxu4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21912698 Nov 15 19:51 uInitrd-5.8.0-0.bpo.2-armmp-lpae -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5728872 Oct 18 15:42 vmlinuz-4.14.202-odroidxu4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4817408 Apr 23 2020 vmlinuz-5.5.0-0.bpo.2-armmp-lpae -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4874752 Sep 26 13:31 vmlinuz-5.8.0-0.bpo.2-armmp-lpae lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Nov 15 19:50 zImage -> vmlinuz-4.14.202-odroidxu4 Only uInitrd was changed, not any others (as you can see). I'm on Buster Stable. I don't think this is supposed to happen? Just wanted to ask here before filing bug though. EDIT: I also don't think it's a big deal either, as I'm pretty sure I rebooted without issue at least once in the meantime (before noticing).

Actually yes. If you have more kernels installed, this is expected. Its more like a random race ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-80 Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 OK. Thanks, Igor. In case it was not clear, I did not explicitly install any kernel, it was installed by Debian just by doing regular `apt upgrade`. Sounds like there is nothing to be done then? Other then be aware and go in manually and change it after each upgrade? If all of above is the case, I start to wonder if apt provides any sort of post-update hook... /wheelsturning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
