DietPi v10.0.1 upgrade

│ [FAILED] You can migrate to the new RPi kernel/firmware stack on a system with at least 128 MiB boot partition only!

/dev/mmcblk0p1   42M   35M  7.1M  83% /boot

I think it is time to think about doing something about the size of my boot partition :thinking:

uhh you are running quite an old system, could it be??

Can you share following

Required

  • DietPi version | cat /boot/dietpi/.version
  • Distro version | echo $G_DISTRO_NAME $G_RASPBIAN
  • Kernel version | uname -a
  • Architecture | dpkg --print-architecture
  • SBC model | echo $G_HW_MODEL_NAME or (EG: RPi3)

Yes - a very old but reliable old raspberry pi and SD Card. (2018?)

* DietPi version | cat /boot/dietpi/.version
G_DIETPI_VERSION_CORE=10
G_DIETPI_VERSION_SUB=0
G_DIETPI_VERSION_RC=1
G_GITBRANCH='master'

we don’t ship images with such a small rootfs for years. Best to make a full backup of the current system on an external usb device, perform a new fresh install and restore the system from the backup

Thanks Joulinar. :+1:

That is the plan for this weekend (including finding & sorting out all the non-dietpi add-ons and modifications I’d made over many years). :downcast_face_with_sweat:

Update: All sorted :grinning_face:

Duplicated the SD Card. Resized the ext4 & vfat partitions. Updated to the new kernel etc
