I'm confused about the kirkwood kernel update process. I updated a Pogo E02 OK, but am running into problems with a Dell M300.
Based upon instructions for an older kernel, I tried installing the headers package but it failed with a a corrupt file error:
It looks like the initramfs file is actually created by the second mkimage command using the initrd.img file.
I need some guidance. Thanks.
- The kernel tarball contains 2 .deb files, but only the image file is installed by the instructions. Where is the headers file used?
- At the mkimage step, the instructions state: "Generate the uImage and uInitrd (the kernel files vmlinuz-5.5.1-kirkwood-tld-1 and initramfs-5.5.1-kirkwood-tld-1 were generated by dpkg in Step 3)" However, after running the dpkg, I don't have the initramfs file.
Based upon instructions for an older kernel, I tried installing the headers package but it failed with a a corrupt file error:
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors dpkg-deb: error: tar subprocess returned error exit status 2
It looks like the initramfs file is actually created by the second mkimage command using the initrd.img file.
I need some guidance. Thanks.
