Cubiraboard2 not starting after update

[Juraj Volentier]

hello,

my recent installation of armbian come to failure pretty quickly

I was greeted after login by message, that kernel was updated and restart is required. So i did, but it never came up. Not sure if related to update, i didn't even knew armbian has autoupdates enabled.

 

There is not much in uboot log -  https://pastebin.com/zyc4WZpf

 

possibly this:

Wrong image format for "source" command
SCRIPT FAILED: continuing...
libfdt fdt_check_header(): FDT_ERR_BADMAGIC

 

Should I increase logging level? MMC boot folder is found fine.

 

My device setup

Cubiraboard2 A20

#1 mmc uboot with /boot folder

#2 sata hdd with rootfs

 

I used nand script install to move rootfs. Everything worked fine.

 

Thanks for help!

 

JV

Yeah ok, i rebuild boot.scr and now boots again. Absolutelly no idea how that could happen. Is there some log file which i could check?

Auto updates are certainly not enabled. But yes, its strange why script got corrupted.

Hmm ok, then it must have been me who ran the update. Not sure what was updated.

 

How is that message, kernel was updated, restart is required, printed after login? Its also reading /var/run/reboot-required ? Is it armbian custom?

Kernel is just a package and if updated, this message is shown. Kernel is Armbian custom, usually mainstream + https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/master/patch/kernel/archive and other general modifications.
