Package: linux-image-4.9.0-8-armmp-lpae

Version: 4.9.144-3

Severity: serious

Updated my Lamobo R1 board with apt update;apt upgrade

After the update uboot is struck at "Starting kernel". There is no
further output after "Starting kernel". Same happens on Bananapi 1
board. Unfortunately there is no more useful information.


I have been able to recover by downgrading to a backup kernel by
mounting the boot partiton on the sd card. Then:

dd if=boot.scr of=boot.script bs=72 skip=1 (extract script)

replaced  in boot.script:

setenv fk_kvers '4.9.0-8-armmp-lpae'

with

setenv fk_kvers '4.9.0-7-armmp-lpae'  (backup kernel that has been
available on my boot partition)

then:

mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d boot.script boot.scr


Afterwards I have been able to boot the system with the old kernel
version. Then I was able to restore the previous version (4.9.130-2) with:

dpkg -i linux-image-4.9.0-8-armmp-lpae_4.9.130-2_armhf.deb (luckily
found the older package)

Upgrading to 4.9.144-3 again after this results in the unbootable
behavior again. Thus for sure the upgrade to 4.9.144-3 is causing the
problem.
