Thanks for catching that and .. gee .. is there a way to recover?I would think this could work: Move the files belonging to debian packages from /boot to another location, then unmount /boot and move the files into the /boot that is part of / then mount your boot partition as something else (like /vfatboot or something). On these types of machines usually you use the flash-kernel package, which copies to correct files from /boot to the vfat boot partition when a new kernel is installed and generates the needed uboot scripts or whatever a given system requires. That is once you add the machine identifier to the database for flash-kernel. There seems to be no reason to have a seperate /boot partition from the debian point of view if the system boots from a vfat partition so easier to just make /boot be a plain directory on the root partition in that case.
After carefully fixing the contents in that vfat /boot partition I still have some borked situation after a reboot : arm7$ arm7$ uptime 18:34:21 up 6 min, 2 users, load average: 0.27, 0.24, 0.13 arm7$ ls -lapb /boot total 62618 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 1024 Jan 1 1970 ./ drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Jan 23 18:24 ../ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 190506 Oct 27 18:46 config-4.9.0-8-armmp-lpae drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Dec 23 05:22 extlinux/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Nov 3 2016 hdmi/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 304 Oct 23 10:44 hw_intf.conf -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22622191 Jan 23 18:21 initrd.img -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22622191 Jan 23 18:21 initrd.img-4.9.0-8-armmp-lpae drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2560 Oct 23 10:44 overlays/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72281 Oct 23 10:44 rk3288-miniarm.dtb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3027355 Oct 27 18:46 System.map-4.9.0-8-armmp-lpae -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3821600 Oct 27 18:46 vmlinuz -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3821600 Oct 27 18:46 vmlinuz-4.9.0-8-armmp-lpae -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7930936 Oct 23 10:44 zImage arm7$ arm7$ cat /proc/cmdlineearlyprintk verbose plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles console=tty1 rw init=/sbin/init uboot_version=2017.07-g8c31a11215 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2

arm7$ So I think I shall wipe out this little ASUS Tinkerboard and figure out if proper Debian testing can be installed on it. Dennis
