Upgrade to bookworm (Debian 12)
cat /etc/apt/sources.list (change the US locale to where you prefer)
Debian Bookworm Notable Change Log:
1. zstd compression is default (previously it's gzip) in initramfs. (bodhi's note: This will shrink the uInitrd quite a bit if used in installing kernel. However, it seems zstd runs too slow in boxes such as 128MB RAM pogoplug).
2. isc-dhcp client (in bullseyes rootfs) is deprecated.
3. NFS V2 is removed.
4. Looks like we lost the avahi-daemon initscript. avahi decided not to support the script anymore.
Restart avahi-daemon if you can no longer login with ssh user@hostname.local.
Or restore the missing initscripts with
5. In Debian bookworm, the switch over to /usr is in effect. The following old sytsem folders are now symlinks to the real location in /usr.
# ls -l /{bin,lib,sbin}
So if for whatever reason, your file system does not show these 3 folders as symlinks, then you'll need to adjust them.
And also make sure that your rootfs backup conform to this structure, too.
UPDATE: the merge /usr is still being discussed:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2023/05/msg00002.html
Recommendation:
Backup your rootfs first.
And then run these 2 commands in an SSH session, and response to interactive questions to select default answers. Save the log of the session somewhere to consult later.
If you have many boxes to upgrade, do it interactively at least for the first one. And then other boxes can be unattended dist-upgrades. This will help seeing which initscript config files might need some merging.
Usually a distribution upgrade like this would result in a new initramfs. So regenerate the uInitrd boot file. See section 4 in my kernel installation for how to recreate uInitrd.
It should look like this example (4.11.3-kirkwood-tld-2 is only an example, replace it with the current kernel in your system).

Ugrading to Debian stretch
This is a brief instruction about how to upgrade to Debian stretch from jessie. It also applicable to all other Debian version upgrade, i.e wheezy to jessie, stretch to the future Debian stable version.
I assume you are currently running one of my customed kernel release linux-image-xx.xx.xx-kirkwood-tld-xx from this thread. This is the reason for this post, since upgrading to the next Debian release while running a customed kernel could potentially cause some out-of-sync in the boot files. The following are 2 sections, one of them might be applicable to your system. And also see Note (section 3) at the end for how to solve possible error during upgrade. If needed in the furture, I will add more sections to this post to cover some special cases.
1. Have installed only my released kernel images
Your system is running only my released kernel linux-image-xx.xx.xx-kirkwood-tld-xx. It has never been upgraded to mainline kernel or previously running mainline kernel. Usually because you started with my released rootfs from this thread.
Back up your rootfs before starting the following steps.
a. Update the apt source list to stretch. Your source should look like the following. Note that it is a good idea to adjust the repo to near your locale, and use ftp where available.
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
b. Run full upgrade (or you can choose to do minimal upgrade with step c).
c. Skip this if you've chosen step b. Run minimal upgrade if you want to do it slow, and then update to stretch for certain packages in the future when necessary. This is OK to do if you don't care much about having your system running every latest Debian package versions (there are a lot of packages that you might never use).
d. Check fstab before rebooting. Debian stretch now has stricter rules, and rejects the old syntax in fstab. So if your rootfs still has the old entry like this
Then edit /media/sdb1/etc/fstab entry for root device to the new syntax to use the rootfs label:
e. Usually a distribution upgrade like this would result in a new initramfs. So regenerate the uInitrd boot file. See section 4 in my kernel/rootfs installation for how to recreate uInitrd. It should look like this example:
2. Have installed a mix of my released kernel images and mainline kernel images
Your system is running my released kernel linux-image-xx.xx.xx-kirkwood-tld-xx, and also you had previously installed and run some mainline kernel in this system. Usually because you started with a Debian installation (e.g. Debian netboot, Debian CD,…).
Back up your rootfs before starting the following steps.
a. Update the apt source list to stretch. Your source should look like the following. Note that it is a good idea to adjust the repo to near your locale, and use ftp where available.
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
b. Remove all mainline kernels that have been installed. Check for previous versions:
and purge each of these linux-image when you found them. The image name would indicate a mainline kernel when there is no -kirkwood-tld-xx postfix.
c. Run full upgrade (or you can choose to do minimal upgrade with step c).
d. Skip this if you've chosen step b. Run minimal upgrade if you want to do it slow, and then update to stretch for certain packages in the future when necessary. This is OK to do if you don't care much about having your system running every latest Debian package version (there are a lot of packages that you might never use).
e. Check fstab before rebooting. Debian stretch now has stricter rules, and rejects the old syntax in fstab. So if your rootfs still has the old entry like this
Then edit /media/sdb1/etc/fstab entry for root device to the new syntax to use the rootfs label:
f. Usually a distribution upgrade like this would result in a new initramfs. So regenerate the uInitrd boot file. See section 4 in my kernel/rootfs installation for how to recreate uInitrd. It should look like this example:
3. Note:
a. Public Key error because of old Debian keyring.
If you encountered key error while running apt-get update:
So install new keyring for stretch:
And then resume the upgrade with apt-get update again.
b. Rootfs mounting syntax change in fstab cause problem during booting.
See section 1d or 2e above, if you encounters problem mounting rootfs.
c. NFS rootfs booting problem.
Debian stretch has a behavioral change in NFS server: it will not provide NFS V2 protocol by default, and u-boot had always been using NFS V2 to load the kernel from the rootfs. The later u-boot versions in 2017 has finnally got V3 capability (It will be available when I release new u-boots for 2017).
See tsunulukai's solution about how to set the nfs server to accept NFS v2:

Or restore the missing initscripts with
apt-get install orphan-sysvinit-scriptsNote that the orphan-sysvinit-scripts only repopulates the startup/shutdown script for packages that you have installed. Nothing else change on the systemd side.
5. In Debian bookworm, the switch over to /usr is in effect. The following old sytsem folders are now symlinks to the real location in /usr.

This is OK to do if you don't care much about having your system running every latest Debian package versions (there are a lot of packages that you might never use).
apt-get update apt-get upgrade
d. Check fstab before rebooting. Debian stretch now has stricter rules, and rejects the old syntax in fstab. So if your rootfs still has the old entry like this
/dev/root / ext3 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Then edit /media/sdb1/etc/fstab entry for root device to the new syntax to use the rootfs label:
LABEL=rootfs / ext3 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
e. Usually a distribution upgrade like this would result in a new initramfs. So regenerate the uInitrd boot file. See section 4 in my kernel/rootfs installation for how to recreate uInitrd. It should look like this example:

b. Remove all mainline kernels that have been installed. Check for previous versions:
dpkg -l | grep -i linux-image
and purge each of these linux-image when you found them. The image name would indicate a mainline kernel when there is no -kirkwood-tld-xx postfix.
dpkg —purge linux-image-xx.xx.xx
c. Run full upgrade (or you can choose to do minimal upgrade with step c).
apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade
d. Skip this if you've chosen step b. Run minimal upgrade if you want to do it slow, and then update to stretch for certain packages in the future when necessary.

e. Check fstab before rebooting. Debian stretch now has stricter rules, and rejects the old syntax in fstab. So if your rootfs still has the old entry like this
/dev/root / ext3 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

LABEL=rootfs / ext3 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
f. Usually a distribution upgrade like this would result in a new initramfs. So regenerate the uInitrd boot file. See section 4 in my kernel/rootfs installation for how to recreate uInitrd. It should look like this example:

3. Note:
a. Public Key error because of old Debian keyring.
If you encountered key error while running apt-get update:

W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
So install new keyring for stretch:

There might some problem with NFS rootfs, after all. I've posted here in the kernel thread:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096,35646#msg-35646
The upgraded new nfs-server seems to have some behavioral changes that could cause problem with older u-boot "nfs" command. If you use tftp command to load the kernel then it seems to be OK.
So if you are seeing problem with u-boot loading kernel from NFS rootfs after a reboot, this might be it.

I think the problem is that Debian stretch has changed the default to NFS v3. We need to add a switch to tell it to accept NFS v2 (which is what older u-boot used).

Just another additional question.
I have the following uboot version on my dockstar:
Can I use this version? Or do I need to update to a newer uboot version?
Like 2017.07 U-Boot Kirkwood

Can I use this version? Or do I need to update to a newer uboot version?

It will work. But you will need to have the DTB appended to uImage as instructed:

It will work. But you will need to have the DTB appended to uImage as instructed:
Quote
4. Create uImage with embedded DTB for booting with older u-boots (2012 or earlier). Skip this step if you have installed the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood (or are installing this u-boot at the same time).
Please replace kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb below with the correct DTB name for your box (see the folder /media/sdb1/boot/dts for the exact spelling of your Kirkwood box name).
Generate the uImage with DTB embedded inside:
cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a zImage-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb >> zImage.fdt
mv uImage uImage.orig

If your Linux box does not have mkimage, then install it
apt-get install u-boot-tools

Re: Upgrading to Debian stretch January 20, 2018 08:29AM |
Ok. But I think it makes sense that I update to the latest version.
My system on the Dockstar is rather old:
1. U-Boot 2011.12 (Feb 12 2012 - 21:33:07)
2. Kernel: 3.9.5-dockstar-goflex-shyd
3. Debian 6 (squeeze)
What's the best way /path to upgrade to the actual system?
[2017.07 U-Boot Kirkwood, linux-4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi kernel, Debian 9 (stretch)]
Will this work?
Update uboot to latest 2017.07 version. Then boot with old Kernel: 3.9.5 and then update Debian and kernel.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

3. Debian 6 (squeeze)
What's the best way /path to upgrade to the actual system?
[2017.07 U-Boot Kirkwood, linux-4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi kernel, Debian 9 (stretch)]
Will this work?
Update uboot to latest 2017.07 version. Then boot with old Kernel: 3.9.5 and then update Debian and kernel.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
-Tom

This is a good plan.
But in order to run the new u-boot with your existing rootfs, you need to check your rootfs for kernel files and Dockstar DTB file to make sure it will be bootable.
I am not famiilar with this kernel: 3.9.5-dockstar-goflex-shyd. So you will need to make sure that your rootfs /boot folder conform to the structure in my release rootfs Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (24 Jul 2017).

Hello bodhi,
thank you for your answer.
It seems it's not so easy to update my old system to a recent one.
Now I am a bit scared if my dockstar will ever boot again after uboot update.
I haven't done anything right now...
Or is there some easier way to update the system?
Where should I start? I am a little helpless at the moment... sorry :(
regards
Tom

The easy way is
1. Clone your USB drive rootfs to another new USB drive. Test boot it.
2. Use the new rootfs drive and update the kernel using linux-4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2 (25 Nov 2017).
Since you are booting with old u-boot, you need to append the Dockstar DTB to uImage in the new rootfs. This way you don't need update any u-boot envs.
If it does not work and if you mess up, you can just reformat the new drive and reclone your current rootfs to it and start fresh again. Always test using the cloned drive, not your current drive.
Get this working first and then think about if you want to update u-boot.

Hello,
now I have updated the kernel but it won't boot completely.
The led is amber, not flashing.
Seems like the root filesystem can't be mounted, or?
So what can I do?
best regards

Tom,
It is a classic problem with having multiple partitions in the system. The new u-boot will take care of that with the envs. You are runing old u-boot so you need to change a few envs to ensure the booting is correct.
Interupt netconsole at count down and run
After you have tested this a couple times, you can set it permanently in Debian (with fw_setenv), but first let's make sure that it boots consistenly.

Ah. The kernel has not even finish starting. Double check your rootfs kernel files (and also rootfs partition while we are at it).
Mount it on another Linux box and assuming it is mountd at /media/sdb1
Look at the kernel files in /boot. Do they look correct?

You should always post the log in context. That means including the command themselve (and importantly the mount command).
This time do these:

Hello bodhi, just found the time to post the requested information.
Please note: At the moment I only can use a Debian 9.0 (Stretch) Linux system in virtual machine (VMWare).
The e2label command only works as superuser/root and shows no entry.
The used usb pen drive is mounted as /media/tom/7b3f7f98-dc8e-47a4-8857-3ac9976121a8 here in Debian and not as
/media/sdb1
Hope this helps to find the cause of failure.
Thank you.
regards

The e2label command only works as superuser/root and shows no entry.
The used usb pen drive is mounted as /media/tom/7b3f7f98-dc8e-47a4-8857-3ac9976121a8 here in Debian and not as
/media/sdb1

Hope this helps to find the cause of failure.
Thank you.

Tom,
The rootfs /boot looks OK. But the label is not.
Become root, and then set the label to rootfs:
And then take it to the Dockstar and power up.
The LED color amber indicated that the kernel has failed to run. But on the slight chance that the LED is wrong, and the problem is actually rootfs mounting, setting the correct label will enable the kernel to mount the rootfs correctly.
Since you don't have serial console, it is difficult to see exactly what has happened. We can only make educated guess. If this does not work. We'll go to plan B.
