Can't upgrade linux-image [@NAND is failing]

[zakora]

Hi,

 

I'm using armbian / Jessie on my cubietruck (installed on NAND):

$ uname -a
Linux cubietruck 3.4.108-sunxi #14 SMP PREEMPT Tue Aug 25 18:13:23 CEST 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux

However, I can't upgrade linux-image package:

$ sudo aptitude upgrade
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
  linux-image-sunxi 
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.

Apparently the /boot partition if full:

$ df -h

/dev/root       7.1G  1.3G  5.5G  19% /

/dev/sda1       147G   62G   78G  45% /mnt/hdd

Here is what it is in /boot, do I need to remove something?

You just find a bug. Upgrade if system is on NAND will not go automatic even if there is enough free space, I need to fix it.   (nand bootloader doesn't recognize zImage kernel type)

 

Workaround:

 

1. Remove zImage, uImage, system.map-3.4.108-sunxi and vmlinuz-3.4.-108-sunxi ... located no /boot  (/dev/nand1)

2. Run this and pick up the correct board / kernel 3.4:

wget -q -O - http://upgrade.armbian.com | bash

It worked, thanks a lot!

 

The support and dedication you put into this project is outstanding.
