• Bug#1103831: raspi-firmware: Unable to update kernel

    From Gunnar Wolf@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 28 20:40:01 2025

    thanks

    Hello,

    First of all, please excuse me for taking several months to answer to your
    bug report!

    Secondly: Please give me some more information, to be able to understand
    the problem! Does it still happen? Which kernel were you trying to update
    from / to? In what consisted the failure?

    Are you sure you had enough free space in the /boot/firmware partition? Do
    note that, as part of the kernel update, the kernel and initrd are copied
    into this partition, and if it is too small or has had too many updates, it might lead to failure.

    – Gunnar.

    Hello,

    Just a heads up that the version number looks like it's the version from
    the Raspberry Pi repo, rather than from Debian. Our version is heavily modified, so it should probably be reported over at https://github.com/RPi-Distro/repo/issues/ instead. You will need to
    provide a lot more information though.

    Kind regards,

    Serge
