Additional Information (if applicable)
Recently updated Pihole to v6(Core [v6.0.5],
FTL [v6.0.4], Web interface[v6.0.2]) first and then ran the latest dietpi update (which went through the RPi stack migration update and then with the pihole cleanup update)
Expected behaviour
Static LED light and blinking only on gravity updates or disk activity etc.
Actual behaviour
Continuous periodic blinking right from boot
Extra details
Thought it could be the migration causing database/gravity migrations and cleanups. But it didn’t stop even after many hours. Updated the gravity database manually and inspected the size of the old logs and database but they weren’t even large. The CPU and memory usage is normal. I have also reset led settings using dietpi-led_control but the blinking still persists.
this has nothing to do with PiHole or any other app. It looks like a challenger of kernel 6.6. You can remove /etc/udev/rules.d/dietpi-led_control.rules to get back default functionality.
these are also the exact settings configured on a different raspi running older dietpi (which shows a static led most of the times btw). i am guessing some default behavior has changed with the kernel update. for now, i have changed the ACT [actpwr] trigger to mmc0 [mmc0] to get rid of the blinking.
