[fmini]

Hello,

after update to the new kernel it shows me still the 3.4.112.

 

I could not understand this output: it seem to be installed?

You are upgrading from very old image and we change some package names in between. You will need to uninstall some and install new one. Check this page for relevant info:

Thank you for the quick answer. I tried tu uninstall the old kernel.

After I tried to install the new one - linux-image-sun7i

 

So it seem all was reloaded.

Do I need to load anything else?

Messages on the Protocol seems do be the same.

It's O.K. now ... you could further uninstall those packages, 

linux-image-sunxi
linux-image-3.4.107-cubietruck
linux-jessie-root-next-cubietruck

but it's also harmless if you just leave as is.

Hello,

thank you again.

I intendet to uninstall them. Here the output messages:

It seems not be install.

 

I have still one question to the different kernels on the following link.

https://www.armbian.com/kernel/

 

When do I have to install which  Kernel? (for cubietruck Allwinner A20 is clear)

 

Firmware?

Board support packages

Latest mainline for all Allwinner devices

U-boots

This page is more like a table with all kernels that we build. You don't need to install anything since images comes with all those packages ... but in case you do some damage or in your case, you can fix the system by installing a proper one. Next, some boards have more kernels and you can switch between them. So this table has naming and if you go for "DEV" ... you need usually to change to DEV u-boot to ... so it's better to change all packages if you want to do so. In any case, all this is recommended for experienced users who know how to fix things if something goes wrong.
