how to debug/fix armbian-config for kernel-update?

hi-ko · June 28

I have a strange issue trying to update/switch kernel and installed header packages:

when I open armbian-config > System > Other

the tool loads 137 sources and then shows the warning by switching as expected but then returns to the "System Settings" menu without doing anything

same issue when trying to install kernel headers - just doing nothing

I worked around for now by manually install the required headers from https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/pool/main/l/ but next time I do a apt upgrade this will byte me again.

is there any log where I can see possible issues?

Is there a way to check / fix the armbian-config setup?

I'm running on Armbian 24.5.1 jammy (odroidm1 6.8.11-edge-rockchip64)

Thanks for any hint

armbian-config is a shell script so it is fairly easy to debug and modify with echo statements to print out what is going on. There is currently no log produced. So if you have decent shell scripting skills debugging shouldn't be too hard.

@SteeMan, thanks for the prompt feedback.

Very strange: something removed `/etc/armbian-release` from the system.

Could this be regenerated? armbian-image-release is still there.

I guess I understand now also the problems I had already previously with

I initially installed jammy 24.2.1 having `LINUXFAMILY=rk3568-odroid` but since then Odroid M1 was merged into rockchip64

Having the `/etc/armbian-release` file removed is something else of course ...

I'm trying to collect the variables in armbian-release by hand

How armbian-release is created and maintained is outside my area of knowledge.

@Igor Is it as simple as copying armbian-image-release to armbian-release to replace the missing file?

yes

Thanks @Igor,

I did this and also modified

BOARDFAMILY=rockchip64
LINUXFAMILY=rockchip64

then I used armbian-config to update the kernel and header files. This seemed to work.

Unfortunately now the system has an boot issue (system is installed on /dev/nvme0n1p2)
I inserted a new sdcard having current fresh image installed and tried to roll back using armbian-config mounting the partition from ssd using chroot without luck.
Questions:

should installing another kernel work from within chroot'ed mounted root device?
how can I install the bootloader correctly - or at least how could I fix this?
if starting with new image from scratch is the only/better option: is it save to run armbian-install from a new image keeping my separate data partition on the nvme?

I'm willing to help document things like how to manually do the bootloader setup on the command line to also help others to help themselves, but then I need some assistence or pointers where to go.

Just in case the issue is caused be the modified armbian-release:

For Odroid M1 we also changed booting process - it is possible to boot Armbian on NVME directly from SPI. Flashing SPI bootloader is probably 1st step. Then having one partition is second one if it won't boot from second. My 2c tips from the head (which is not in perfect operating state. It was a long week)

Serial console logs would help to see where is the problem.

hi-ko · June 28

I'll play a bit with the booting process via SPI once I finished a backup.
I thought rerunning armbian-install would not be supported since the tool gets uninstalled once run, but I guess that's the way to run it again?

Here the console log from the failed boot after updating the kernel:

Looks like some partition format mixup, btrfs vs. ext4.

hi-ko · June 28

sure - but that's nothing I could influence since I just used the menu entries from the armbian-install.
I did another try in the meantime using yet another fresh sdcard image.
I used

boot from from nve (choosing ext4)
install bootloader on SPI

system still boots from sdcard and if I remove the sdcard the system does not boot.

How could I check / fix the config in the bootloader?
I also chroot'ed into the mounted nve partition and run armbian-install again to install the bootloader into SPI. Same.

hi-ko · June 28

I got the SPI bootloader configured as expected by manually adding rootdev variable to /boot/armbianEnv.txt on the sdcard (!) and then run armbian-install again to update the bootloader. It seems, the installer is writing the armbianEnv.txt to the target device (nve partition) but reads from the booted device (sdcard) when installing the bootloader.
Looks like a bug?

Igor · June 29

First thing in the morning, I tried to do a clean install to Odroid M1.

It didn't go without problems, but I have at least identify some troubles. If you start with a new blank nvme, one partition formatted as ext4, it works without any intervention:

Bug is in the partition prepare. I used some nvme where there were some MSDOS and ZFS partitions previously on SSD. Partition maker prompted out "are you sure to delete those or smth". This is the problem ... but after that, everything goes smooth:

hi-ko · June 29

Hey Igor,

Thank you very much for your efforts. The patch only adjusts the partitioning itself. This works in my case / is already given. My problem is that the bootloader mechanism does not work as it should. It always boots from the sdcard, even if I have selected the menu entry "4 Boot from MTD Flash - system on SATA, USB or NVMe".
Here is a terminal log after successfully writing to the second partition: https://paste.armbian.com/uvitekehup.sql
Question is for me: how to install/Update the bootloader to boot from /dev/nvme0n1p2 instead of /dev/mmcblk1p1? How could I check, what is configured in the bootloader?

hi-ko · June 29

mkfs.ext4 -L armbian /dev/nvme0n1p2

then run armbian-installer again, choosing Boot from MTD ... and fstype ext4
which also installed the bootloader:

bootloader still boots into sdcard:

Mainline U-Boot scans at various locations for valid bootflows. Usually eMMC and microSD are scanned befor NVMe, so as long as an valid bootflow is found there, that one is used.

hi-ko · June 29

but when I remove the sdcard, the bootloader doesn't find a boot device and falls back to network boot ...

Bootstd is scanning for a valid bootflow at the partition where the bootflag is set. If none is set, the first partition is used as a fall-back default.

ColorfulRhino · June 29

Try stopping the boot holding any key while booting, so you can enter commands in u-boot.

Then you can use the `nvme` command to see if u-boot is even detecting your nvme drive.

@usual user you nailed it! For any reason that flag had been removed.
I used parted,

set 2 boot on

and boot loader get's happy.
Thank you all!

One last thing/question:

currently I use Armbian_24.5.2_Odroidm1_noble_current_6.6.35.img
which couldn't find any header packackes in arbian-config
similar thing choosing other kernels. I switched to 6.6.32-current-rockchip64 and now I also get the header packackes installed.

I guess the packages are looked up in https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/pool/main/l/ ?

There is indeed no package for kernel 6.6.35, so it's a bit strange that the kernel from the image is newer but on the repo there are only older packages available.

Great! Maybe the Armbian script does not set the boot flag when moving the system to the nvme partition?

hi-ko · June 29

I suspect that this disappeared earlier in the legacy boot and only became apparent when switching to u-boot from SPI.
armbian-install will probably not adjust the partition if you select an existing one as target (I didn't check in the script).

It would be a good lifesaver if the install/update of to bootloader also checks if the partition has the boot flag ...

@Igor would be a valuable enhancement to check and at least warn if the partition has no boot flag set

Yes, that is expected. Remove it and it should boot from nvme.

We have some repo troubles lately. Will be fixed soon.
