Package: flash-kernel Version: 3.35 Severity: important flash-kernel has this entry for the OpenBlocks AX3-4:
Machine: PlatHome OpenBlocks AX3-4 board Kernel-Flavors: armmp DTB-Id: armada-xp-openblocks-ax3-4.dtb DTB-Append: yes U-Boot-Kernel-Address: 0x2000000 U-Boot-Kernel-Entry-Point: 0x2000040 U-Boot-Initrd-Address: 0x0 Boot-Device: /dev/sda1 Boot-Kernel-Path: /boot/uImage Boot-Initrd-Path: /boot/uInitrd Boot-DTB-Path: /boot/dtb Required-Packages: u-boot-tools Firstly, the Armada XP supports LPAE and the installer selects the armmp-lpae kernel by default. This makes it impossible to boot from the files on the installed system. Secondly, if the installation uses LVM, /dev/sda1 is the /boot partition, not the root partition. After fixing the first problem, flash-kernel fails like this: # flash-kernel 3.16.0-4-armmp-lpae Installing armada-xp-openblocks-ax3-4.dtb into /boot/dtb-3.16.0-4-armmp-lpae Taking backup of dtb-3.16.0-4-armmp-lpae.

Installing new uImage. mv: cannot move '/tmp/flash-kernel.3ft8lyny/uImage' to '/tmp/flash-kernel.V2iwAjyz//boot/uImage': No such file or directory Removing /boot from the file paths fixes this, but of course it would break configurations without a separate /boot. I don't know whether there's a good way to deal with both configurations. Maybe you should bodge it by creating the /boot/boot directory in this case? Thirdly, the machine name is not quite accurate - this is not just a board but a complete product with a custom case.
