Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.98pureos+librem5.2~1175.gbpd159a8
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The /sbin/installkernel script fails when flash-kernel is installed:

$ sudo make install
arch/arm64/Makefile:40: LSE atomics not supported by binutils
arch/arm64/Makefile:48: Detected assembler with broken .inst; disassembly will be unreliable
/bin/bash ./arch/arm64/boot/install.sh 4.18.11-00448-ge4cb08275a83 \

make[1]: *** [arch/arm64/boot/Makefile:40: install] Error 1
make: *** [arch/arm64/Makefile:127: install] Error 2

When run from "make install" in a kernel directory, the last thing
installkernel does is call run-parts on /etc/kernel/postinst.d:

    run-parts --verbose --exit-on-error --arg="$ver" --arg="$dir/$img_dest-$ver" \
    /etc/kernel/postinst.d

The postinst.d script for initramfs-tools executes update-initramfs
which in turn calls run-parts on /etc/initramfs/post-update.d:

                run-parts --arg=${version} --arg=${initramfs} \
                        /etc/initramfs/post-update.d/

The flash-kernel package installs a hook script in
/etc/initramfs/post-update.d which executes flash-kernel.  The
flash-kernel script then tries to install the kernel's .dtb files,
assuming the hook script is being run during the installation of a
kernel package.  The expected .dtb files are not present and so the
execution fails causing installkernel to error out.

There is a conflict: installkernel assumes the /etc/kernel/postinst.d
hook scripts can be run outside of a kernel package installation but
flash-kernel's /etc/initramfs/post-update.d hook script assumes that
it will only be run during a kernel package installation.

Regards,

Bob Ham

Given that it's unknown what patches PureOS has changed in flash-kernel
or debianutils (the package providing installkernel), please file the
bug report with PureOS.

There's not yet any support for the board you're trying to install in
Debian's flash-kernel package, so at the very least that's been patched
in or manually configured somehow.

At the moment, flash-kernel only supports kernels packaged in Debian,
with device-tree blobs in /usr/lib/linux-image-VERSION, so custom
kernels may need manual configuration, if it's even possible at all.

There may in fact be some bug in the interaction between flash-kernel
and installkernel, but it's hard to sort out with all these unknown
variables. Reproducing with a plain debian system might make it possible
to sort out.


live well,
