I have attempted to selectively install linux-image-4.0.0-2-kirkwood from unstable on QNAP-212P.
This resulted in the following: ## Booting image at 00800000 ... Image Name: kernel 4.0.0-2-kirkwood Created: 2015-05-28 18:37:03 UTC Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) Data Size: 2066352 Bytes = 2 MB Load Address: 00008000 Entry Point: 00008000 Verifying Checksum ... OK OK Starting kernel ... Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x0000085b). Available machine support: ID (hex) NAME ffffffff Generic DT based system ffffffff Marvell Kirkwood (Flattened Device Tree) Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader. I don't really understand how Debian handles the passing of dtb files (only legacy machine id? appends them to the kernel? points to the /boot/ with dtbs?) or how to fix it, but in any case be warned that if you update now, you may end up in the same situation. Best regards, Jan
