Hi,
many thanks for your message. Let me answer as first your last question. There is no kernel 5.6 released for your board. As you are using RPi4, the base image used is a Raspberry OS. And there, latest kernel available is
5.4.51 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_OS
Not sure how it could happen but on my RPi4, I don't have any 5.6 packages installed. And yes, my system is up-to-date and I'm using Wireguard as well. Did you used
rpi-update to load some
pre-release version?
Code: Select all
root@DietPi4:~# ls -la /lib/modules/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Aug 10 01:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Jul 29 17:30 ..

As far as I can see, the 5.6 package was installed on 3rd of August while the 5.4 kernel modules are from 14th of October. Probably you installed something at that time ??
These are the Raspberry OS kernel moduls
Code: Select all
root@DietPi4:~# dpkg -l|grep raspberry
ii libraspberrypi-bin 1.20200902-1 armhf Miscellaneous Raspberry Pi utilities
ii libraspberrypi0 1.20200902-1 armhf EGL/GLES/OpenVG/etc. libraries for the Raspberry Pi's VideoCore IV

As you can see, they are from 2nd of September 2020, which fits the latest release of Raspbian OS Kernel 5.4
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/releases
So question is where did you get the 5.6 package from? You could use
apt show <package> to get further information on this packge. Did you add any additional Debian package source list's?
However this all has nothing to do with
dietpi-update because Kernel as well as Debian packages are installed from original source and manages via Debian APT package manager. The only thing
dietpi-update is doing, is to call
apt update && apt upgrade before executing update of DietPi scripts.
Hint 1: I highly recommend to perform a
dietpi-backup before updating your system. This way, you are able to revert changes if things goes wrong (like your case).
Hint 2: There is no need to perform screen shots. As you are using an SSH terminal program, you should be able to mark the lines needed and copy them into the forum board as code snippet.
