Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.68
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I cannot install latest kernel on my OlinuXino card:
# dpkg --configure linux-image-4.7.0-1-armmp-lpae
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of
linux-image-4.7.0-1-armmp-lpae:
linux-image-4.7.0-1-armmp-lpae depends on initramfs-tools (>= 0.110~) |
linux-initramfs-tool; however:
Package initramfs-tools is not configured yet.
Package linux-initramfs-tool is not installed.
Package initramfs-tools which provides linux-initramfs-tool is not configured
yet.
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-4.7.0-1-armmp-lpae (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-4.7.0-1-armmp-lpae
After this failure, flash-kernel fails with the following message:
# flash-kernel
DTB: sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime.dtb
Couldn't find
Indeed, there's no DTB file for kernel 4.7 in /boot:
# ls /boot/dtbs/
4.4.0-1-armmp-lpae 4.5.0-2-armmp-lpae 4.6.0-1-armmp-lpae
This may be because kernel 4.7 is not yet fully installed:
# dpkg -l linux-image*

Once I remove the fix done with #833097 [1] , I get:
# flash-kernel

flash-kernel: installing version 4.7.0-1-armmp-lpae
Generating boot script u-boot image... done.
Taking backup of boot.scr.
Installing new boot.scr.
Which is much better...
Now I can finish the installation:

Could find another fix for #833097 ?
