[Nico21311]

Hello all 

 

I have broken my installation when I tried to install the kernel 6.1 my current kernel 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx.

 

My nanopc t6 do not start. My installation is on EMMC and start on it.

 

Could you please help me to recover it ?

 

I have a backup file from OMV but I don't know how to push the backup to the EMMC?

 

other possibility I guess copy the boot folder backup to EMMC boot folder but I do not know if it is enough.

 

I really appreciate an help furthermore  a clear turial could help evryone to recover an installation on EMMC memory.

 

Thanks in advance  for your support.

Hello.
I also had such a problem some time ago. I don't know how much experience you have with linux.
Probably missing the /boot stuff.
You can try the following, but it's a bit risky.
You make an mmc card with arbian and kernel 6.1.XX. and you start nanopc from it. After it loads.
You put in a USB to SD card adapter.
In the new memory card, after loading the OS, create an OMV folder, in it /OMV/boot and /OMV/os/
in it you create /OMV/boot and /OMV/os/
rsync -va /boot/ /OMV/boot/
mv /OMV/os/lib/modules/6.1.43-vendor-rk35xx /OMV/os/lib/modules/6.1.43-vendor-rk35xx_old
rsync -va /lib/modules/6.1.43-vendor-rk35xx /OMV/os/lib/modules/

After that, umount /OMV/boot and /OMV/os/, put the OMV card in the nanopc and if you're lucky, it might start.

I hope I was helpful and good luck

Hello Fever_wits

 

Thanks you for your answer. 

 

I tried to reinstall an Armbian image with SD but the device never boot.

I have reinstall the device and the docker.

 

However, I need to install the firmware 5.10.160. Indeed the nanopc-t6 don ot star with any image with firmware 6.1.43 or 6.8.9.

 

I do not understand why ?. Apprently I understand that you are able to install the version 6.1.43 without issue. 

 

Could you please explain me the procedure you have used ?

 

Thanks in advance for your  support.
