Title: cannot upgrade kernel on ssd booting raspberry pi 3b Status in linux-raspi package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Release: 20.04 linux-image-5.4.0-1029-raspi: Installed: 5.4.0-1029.32 Candidate: 5.4.0-1029.32 Version table: *** 5.4.0-1029.32 500 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-updates/main armhf Packages 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-security/main armhf Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I gather it's something to do with /boot partition having to be vfat and you cannot do symlinks there. But I don't know what to do about it. There was some post about editing /etc/kernel-img.conf but all that seemed to do was to kick the problem down the road to where a different link couldn't be made. This is on an ssd-booting system with mounts /dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime) /dev/sda1 on /boot type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro) and the altered kernel-img.conf file is, currently: do_symlinks = no do_bootloader = no link_in_boot = no Here's the aptage: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y Hit:1 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal InRelease Hit:2 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-updates InRelease Hit:3 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-backports InRelease Hit:4 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-security InRelease Hit:5 https://deb.nodesource.com/node_15.x focal InRelease Reading package lists...
