Package: linux-image-4.1.0-0.bpo.1-kirkwood Version: 4.1.3-1~bpo8+1 Bad things happen when flash-kernel (3.45) flashes the initramfs with this Linux kernel on my QNAP TS-219P II: 1. The NAS is equipped with 2 HDDs 3TB in size in RAID 1 mode (mirroring). 2. After the flashing, dpkg errors out stating it is unable to write to a file under the /var tree. 3. cat /proc/mdstat reveals that the partitions of HDD /dev/sdb are marked with [F]. 4. As a result, the RAID partitions have been remounted as read-only, including the root partitions, rendering the system inoperable. 5. Regular shutdown is not possible at this point. The NAS has to be force-powered off by holding the power button on the device for several seconds. 6. After reboot, dpkg is in an intermediate state. Following the advice to use "dpkg --configure -a" results in the flashing operation being carried out again with the same result, i.e. the user is caught in a loop. 7. Using "dpkg --configure" instead allows other package install/remove operations. Removing the Linux kernel 4.1, reverting to Linux kernel 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3 from debian jessie fixes the problem. In Linux kernel 3.16.7, the same version of flash-kernel (3.45) works without the problems mentioned above. So the culprit appears not to be the flash-kernel package, but rather the Linux kernel 4.1 package. Best Regards, Robert Schlabbach

Can you try if 3.52 works for you? If so, I guess it makes sense to upload 3.52 to backports. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/

I've just updated from kernel 4.2.6-1 to kernel 4.2.6-3 using this new version of flash-kernel, and am happy to report that this indeed fixed the problem for me. The update was successfully completed and the RAID was still fully operational afterwards. Best Regards, -Robert Schlabbach
