Does Armbian works and upgrades without severe changes (OMV) to the OS? I assume it does. If it wouldn't, then we will try to do something about. Support terms https://github.com/armbian/build#support 

Personally, I don't known nothing about OMV and Armbian does not support 3rd party software suites, not even software packages that are a part of the OS. Sorry. Already without that its waaaaay too much.

 

Moving to general section.

Hi yes, OMV is working flawlessly, with docker (even have Plex server running, with transcoding of 4k videos, no problem).  The installation of OMV was done by installing the vanilla armbian image and running a script to isnatll, the kernel upgrade is the only thing not working. Thanks for the help.. I'll look into it further.

I have figured out part of the problem, not sure how it got to this state, stock armbian installed the linux image to :

/usr/lib/linux-image-current-rockchip64

 

When upgrading to :linux-image-5.10.16-rockchip64, when updating the kernel, It was expected to find linux-image-5.10.12-rockchip64 directory and since it couldn't find it the install script bombed.

 

What I did to "fix" it, moved linux-image-current-rockchip64 to linux-image-5.10.12-rockchip64 and linked linux-image-current-rockchip64 to linux-image-5.10.12-rockchip64.

and created the links necessary:

/usr/lib/linux-image-current-rockchip64 -> linux-image-5.10.12-rockchip64,

/boot/uInitrd -> uInitrd-5.10.16-rockchip64

/boot/Image -> vmlinuz-5.10.16-rockchip64

 

it didn't create the :

/boot/dtb -> dtbs/5.10.16-rockchip64

 

even though it copied the overlays to the dtbs directory. I managed to boot off usb and create the link and the system booted up.

 

I notice that the script below is responsible for creating the above links, but it doesn't creat the dtb one - is this a bug?
