Hi

 

I want to build armbian for nanopi neo with a different mainline.  What I have done is 

1. added lib.config file in userpatches with statement ARMBIAN_MAINLINE_KERNEL_VERSION='4.9'

that didn't work, I still get a 4.10.1 kernel build

2. then changed configration.sh ARMBIAN_MAINLINE_KERNEL_VERSION='4.9'

that didn't work either, I got 4.10.1 kernel build

 

Any other tricks?

There is no MAINLINE kernel for H3 board, we are attached to some development branch.

 

This way:

KERNELBRANCH='branch:orange-pi-4.9'

 

thanks, the line worked, I see the compile now pulling orange-pi-4.9. 

 

Unfortunately, the compiled failed.  Have anyone tried to 4.9?

  │ Makefile:988: recipe for target 'drivers' failed                       │  
  │ make: *** [drivers] Error 2  

 

Problem is here, any quick thoughts how to proceed?  Is this just me, or the current branch shouldn't compile with 4.9?

When you go back with version, patches might break. You will need to deal with that ... check output/debug/patching.log for details and fix patches. In case patches are not important for you, disable them.

No other way.
