September 3, 20242 yr when updating my orange pi 5, I got the following error. What can I do to fix it? ``` update-initramfs: Armbian: Symlinking /boot/uInitrd-5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx to /boot/uInitrd ln: failed to create symbolic link '/boot/uInitrd': Operation not permitted update-initramfs: Symlink failed, moving /boot/uInitrd-5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx to /boot/uInitrd renamed '/boot/uInitrd-5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx' -> '/boot/uInitrd' update-initramfs: Armbian: done. ```
September 4, 20242 yr Providing logs with armbianmonitor -u helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.
September 4, 20242 yr This must be one of early images with FAT boot partition. I think its safe to ignore ... scripts can't do symbolic links on FAT.

As Igor says, I'm assuming you have a separate /boot partition that is FAT separate from your / root partition. In that case, this would be a normal 'warning' message for a system that has a FAT /boot partition. All of my devices fall in that category (with a FAT /boot partition) and I see this message for every update.
