Package: flash-kernel Version: 3.13 Severity: important Tags: patch For the Seagate Dockstar there is a case inconsistency between the entry in all.db and (at least) linux-image-3.12-1-kirkwood's /usr/lib/linux-image-3.12-1-kirkwood/kirkwood-dockstar.dtb. This inconsistency causes flash-kernel to return "Unsupported platform." and interrupt kernel upgrades.
Specifically, when booted via a FDT kernel using the linux-image-3.12-1-kirkwood kirkwood-dockstar.dtb, the value of /proc/device-tree/model is "Seagate FreeAgent Dockstar" and the relevant entry in all.db is "Machine: Seagate FreeAgent DockStar". Note the capitalized S in "DockStar" in all.db and the lower-case S in "Dockstar" in the kernel's dtb. A patch which allowed my upgrade to succeed is: --- all.db.old 2014-03-15 13:24:12.698274452 -0400 +++ all.db 2014-03-15 13:24:37.475956839 -0400 @@ -375,6 +375,7 @@ Required-Packages: u-boot-tools Bootloader-Sets-Incorrect-Root: yes +Machine: Seagate FreeAgent Dockstar Machine: Seagate FreeAgent DockStar Kernel-Flavors: kirkwood U-Boot-Kernel-Address: 0x00008000 -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: armel (armv5tel) Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-kirkwood Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages flash-kernel depends on: ii devio 1.2-1+b1 ii initramfs-tools 0.115 ii linux-base 3.5 flash-kernel recommends no packages.
