[opensuse-arm] Updating RPi 2B image to kernel 4.0.1 leaves non-bootable system
I had a running image on my RPi 2B and saw kernel 4.0.1 being available. Using zypper I updated the kernel, but after that the system was no longer bootable. The newest image still has a 3.19 kernel. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Are you maybe accidentally installing a kernel-default from Factory (which I think does not yet support RPi2) over the kernel-rpi2 or so from the Contrib project?

Yes, this 4.0.1 kernel is in the armv7l Factory repository, the repository that is defined in the image, next to the Contrib repository. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Ah, that explains it. The raspberry pi 2 requires a special downstream kernel today still, hence the name "kernel-rpi2". The kernel you installed is probably "kernel-default" which is an upstream kernel and doesn't support the RPi2 properly yet FWIW.

So maybe this kernel should not be available in the repo? -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf P.S.

It's part of the official Factory:ARM repository, because all upstream (non-contrib) boards use it. Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

So this kernel conflicts with kernel-rpi2 or vice versa. Is it possible to keep Contrib synchronized with the same kernel version in Factory:ARM? -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Nope :). The usual way this goes is that the downstream kernel slowly gets merged upstream and then eventually we can take kernel-default instead. During the transitioning phase where there is a downstream kernel, we have contribs.
