Package: raspi-firmware Version: 1.20220830+ds-1 Severity: normal While upgrading the kernel, my raspberry pi reset and failed to come back up to a usable state. Serial console showed the last thing output was the kernel saying it was running init. Investigation of the SD card found this in config.txt (abbreviated to relevant lines):
kernel=vmlinuz-6.3.0-1-armmp.dpkg-new initramfs initrd.img-6.1.0-9-armmp Note the kernel and initrd version mismatch. (The .dpkg-new being used in there also seems a bit problimatic..) I had to edit it back to using vmlinuz-6.1.0-9-armmp to fix the problem. It seems to me that since rpis are known to be rather picky about power[1], it's especially important to make such a critical thing as a kernel upgrade not fail if the power goes out. -- see shy jo [1] Though I suspect mine is just a bad board, since it regularly resets when under load and was being powered by USB from my laptop, which should be a good solid power supply.
