Odroid C2: Kernel hangs after update to v119

[mike175de]

Hey there,

as mentioned in https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/366 (and marked there as solved) hangs the kernel after updating to v119.

I come from v117, doing a dietpi-update and after rebooting the kernel hangs, no console available.

I tried it several times with my backup-version of my installation. 1. dietpi-update, then apt-get update&upgrade 2. vice versa.
Some outcome.

How can I fix this?
Any help would be great. Thx a lot.

BTW: I use an unmodified boot.ini.

Hi Mike,

Yep, as you can see in the git ticket, had a few issues with getting the latest kernel installed, without removing itself. I did test as many possible scenarios for the update, but clearly I missed one.

Whats the kernel version of your backup, prior to updating kernel?

Code: Select all

uname -a

And, after running the update. Plug the SD/EMMC into another machine and provide me with the file list for /boot:

Code: Select all

ls -lha /boot/

. Screenshot if its easier, but I'll need to see the full filenames.

Hey Fourdee,

thx for the fast reply.

I can't say what was different then the other times, but after doing a dietpi-update and a reboot the system is up and running. No kernel-hanging anymore. :?:

Maybe this are useful informations for you:

before the update:

Code: Select all

uname -r 
3.14.29+

after the update:

Code: Select all

uname -r 
3.14.65+

after the update:

If this can be useful to somebody, I have installed v119, not update, but fresh install, on my Odroid C2, and everything has worked like a charm.
