> 2) On both the 4 and 5, 'needrestart' says I'm running on an old kernel and tells me that a reboot will start the newer version. But it's just kidding -- I reboot and I get the same message again. The 4's been doing that for a long time, and I've just let it keep running the old kernel because I'm afraid I might break something if I try to delete the old kernel. But I just got the 5 a few days ago, it's doing the same thing, and I'd like to get this dealt with.
I've never seen that either and have 2 RPI4bs running Devuan daedalus on this one,
Rasbian bookworm on the other.
I assume you ran apt update & apt upgrade before reboot.
One thing I have noticed is that reboot and 'shutdown -h now'
then toggling the power, don't always give the same results.
