Yes. I started a debian "reinstall" on a wheezy installation on the QNAP, by running the kirkwood-qnap to detect the kernel version. I don't recall getting an error, it just does: echo "kirkwood-qnap: Unable to determine $machine variant " >&2 exit 1 So, I figured the model in cpuinfo (Feroceon 88FR131 rev 1 (v5l)) was less important for the kernel version than /sys/bus/soc/devices/soc0/soc_id and lscpi output and picked kernel-6282. Then I flashed new kernel-6282 and initrd: cat $kernel > /dev/mtdblock1 cat initrd > /dev/mtdblock2 I didn't change uboot. Then I rebooted and got the stretch installer, and I tries install the system at least 10 times trying to rule out that anything I did along the way was a problem (like change DNS manually) ... but it kept segfaulting at the same point consistenly. I ran the tests on wheezy before flashing the installer for reinstall. I could probably get back to the wheezy system (somehow, maybe using TFTP). As of now I've left the system in this stretch-half-installed state if there's need for debugging. /Peter
