00:09 <DC-IRC> <jbergler> Not sure what qualifies for yanking a kernel version, but wanted to call attention to the fact that linux-image-current-meson64 23.8.1 seems to be breaking lots of things by not updating /boot/uImage while removing the modules for the previous kernel version. (ie no networking) https://forum.armbian.com/topic/29990-buglatest-kernel-update-makes-odroid-unuseable/

00:59 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius77> I'm curious as to what meson arm64 devices would even require an uImage?

01:01 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> `linux-current-meson64_23.8.1_arm64.deb` seems to be fucked

01:02 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> already tried blowing away the apt cache - doesn't seem to be a local storage problem

01:02 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius77> Looks like a packaging problems

01:02 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> yup

01:03 DC-IRC has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

01:03 DC-IRC has joined #armbian-amlogic

01:04 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius77> Looks like a packaging problem

01:06 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius77> Could just be a bad build `lzma error: compressed data is corrupt`?

01:07 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> I'm on the official release stream though

01:07 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> ```

01:07 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> ```

01:07 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> so that would mean everybody has the same bad build?

01:07 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> is there even a way to downgrade to the earlier kernel?

01:07 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius77> I would think so, but don't quote me on that.

01:09 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius77> `sudo apt list linux-current-meson64` any other versions there?

01:10 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius77> `sudo apt list linux-image-current-meson64` any other versions there?

01:11 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> nice. I will need to do the whole mess of packages, but it's worth the hassle

01:15 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> no dice, I think this may have been on nightlies before and I forgot

01:15 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> so it would be either `23.02` or `23.8`

01:16 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> maybe I'll try nightly again

01:16 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius77> I would wait for Igor and Pardini to get online and check into it then.

01:16 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> I don't want to downgrade to a 6 month old build, I have feeling there could be dragons with all of the changes

01:16 <DC-IRC> <joekhoobyar> yeah, I can leave the system limping along until then

01:19 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius77> I would wait for Igor or Pardini to get online and check into it then.

03:31 <DC-IRC> <mrdungqnn> Hello. Can any of you guys launch armbian on an amlogic Soc S905Y4 device?

04:02 <DC-IRC> <terrorpup> So, I got more coming out, will try to so a bit clearer one. This one ties in with my blog

04:02 <DC-IRC> <terrorpup> https://uglyscale.press/2023/08/31/how-to-flash-armbian-to-emmc-of-banana-pi-bpi-m5/

04:02 <DC-IRC> <terrorpup> The video

04:02 <DC-IRC> <terrorpup> https://youtu.be/Thb1Tb0Zp0E

04:02 <DC-IRC> <terrorpup> If you like me to focus are show off showing let me.

06:38 <DC-IRC> <igorpec> Armbian is not a software corporation.

06:39 <DC-IRC> <igorpec> could be random packaging problem. But strange is that it didn't errors out anywhere in the process

06:58 <DC-IRC> <igorpec> strange is that also nightly image is not working (checking Odroid N2)

06:59 <DC-IRC> <igorpec> sorry, false alarm. it is

07:00 <DC-IRC> <igorpec> but it kernel panics right away ... we have a serious isssue with amlogic

07:04 <DC-IRC> <igorpec> for now i have initiated removal of "linux-image-current-meson64"

07:04 <DC-IRC> <igorpec> from the stable repo, so people won't run into the trap

07:15 <DC-IRC> <igorpec> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858684386806595584/1148516767191277588/IMG_20230905_091121.jpg

09:34 <DC-IRC> <viraniac> it works on khadas vim1s which is s905y4

09:35 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> @igorpec it's a rtw88 driver crash

09:36 <DC-IRC> <narmstrong> @igorpec it's a rtl88 driver crash

10:08 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius77> yeah it looks like the 88x2bu github driver.

10:30 <DC-IRC> <igorpec> Thanks. What about this? https://forum.armbian.com/topic/29990-buglatest-kernel-update-makes-odroid-unuseable

15:23 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> Had a quick look before vacations.

15:23 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> ODROID meson64 boards used `uImage` (legacy) before the migration to mainline u-boot, which occurred in late 2021.

15:23 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> `uImage` is not included or generated since 22.05... (don't confuse with `uInitrd`, which is for some reason still in use).

15:23 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> Is it possible those users from <2021, are upgrading kernel, but not the bsp-cli (which carries a forced-update bootscript) and u-boot?

15:23 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> To test we'd need a 2021-ish image to reproduce...

15:23 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> To fix, we could either instruct to correctly migrate, or include a hook to generate uImage board-side, but that would only prolong the pain...
