dieterpi Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Hi all, I'm running a couple of ODroid XU4's as a server. Yesterday I ran an update and after this update the board no longer boots... (I was running Armbian Focal kernel 4 I have tested a 'fresh' armbian image and then the system boots without issues. I have saved what packages are updated and wonder if I would be able to restore this somehow? A log of the update (never mind the dutch) https://pastebin.com/WWP2DFfC I used to have kernal 5.4 on this board, but I downgraded about 6 months ago. Could that be the issue? Because in the log I read: Uitpakken van .../77-linux-image-current-odroidxu4_21.02.2_armhf.deb wordt voorbereid... update-initramfs: Deleting /boot/initrd.img-5.4.72-odroidxu4 Removing obsolete file 4.14.202-odroidxu4 Removing obsolete file uInitrd-4.14.202-odroidxu4 update-initramfs: Deleting /boot/initrd.img-4.14.202-odroidxu4 Bezig met uitpakken van linux-image-current-odroidxu4 (21.02.2) over (20.08.13) ...

But later I find: Instellen van linux-image-current-odroidxu4 (21.02.2) ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.4.98-odroidxu4 update-initramfs: Converting to u-boot format And even later: Instellen van linux-image-legacy-odroidxu4 (21.02.2) ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.14.212-odroidxu4 update-initramfs: Converting to u-boot format What would be the way to revert the culprit updates? Board: Odroid XU3/XU4/HC1

This "board not start" section only covers "Impossible cases - when official armbian builds from the download section doesn't start at all". Moving to Bug tracker section. 38 minutes ago, dieterpi said: I used to have kernal 5.4 on this board, but I downgraded about 6 months ago. Could that be the issue? If you still have both kernels installed, this is certainly bad and possible source of troubles. Try recover this way https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Recovery/ and remove one kernel, together with its dtb package.
