Hello Igor, greatings everyone,

 

I have realized the "build" link is missing to the /usr/src/linux-headers-x.x.x-sunxi

 

Ubuntu Trusty (x86/amd64 kernel) provides such a link

 

I was building a small kernel module from source (frandom-dkms) on my labomo-r1

There is / must be a link to headers / sources on all images for at least a year. If you did an kernel upgrade, than you need to upgrade headers too.

 

I checked some of my running configurations and all have a valid link.

 

Ahaa, I see. Naming is wrong.

 

BTW. Latest image works as expected. I compiled some driver without a problem.

Igor,

 

let's see with 4.6 I keep you in touch if needed.

 

1/ I have observed the situation from Armbian 4.3 -> 4.5

 

2/ Or is it the "image-only" kernel 4.5 you tendered me to check if zram module was ok. I switched back to 4.4 after, reinstalling all the 4.4 (kernel, header, boot, etc.), then installing my own compiled 4.5, then overwritten with the Armbian 4.5 you have published.

 

=> you cannot imagine all the tricky things your users(&fans) can do!

 

Thks!

 

 

OK

@Igor

 

testing beta Armbian 4.6 kernel 4.2.5-sunxi => link is here: FIXED or NON-ISSUE thanks!
