January 23Jan 23 Hi I installed Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.151_Odroidhc4_trixie_current_6.18.2_minimal.img Trying to build zfs-dkms I discovered that I was missing the linux-headers for this kernel version and there is no package containing it. At least apt-cache didn't find anything. Any idea where to find it? Thanks, Chris
January 24Jan 24 There are no header packages for each and every trunk version to save resources. Most simple solution is probably DIY an image with INSTALL_HEADERS=yes to have them shipped with the image.
January 24Jan 24 Thanks Werner. Meanwhile I have tried a minimal image and did not plug the ethernet cable it, the Armbian initial boot script installed the drivers and connected seamlessly to wifi. No need for the marrownr external driver, so the headers problem is no longer a problem. Now I am keeping my fingers crossed that the OTG will work (it didn't work with Johang's latest images. So I created my own using hte armbian compilation script. It doesn't have Trixie for pcduino3nano, but bookworm should work. Cheers, Gaetano. Edited January 24Jan 24 by Gaetano
January 24Jan 24 Hi Chris, when I tried to install the headers on my pcduino3nano, there were two options: linux-headers-armmp (or equivalent for your board) and kernel-headers. This secong package name was incomplete, but apt suggested a list of possible matches for my system. Give that a try. Cheers, Gaetano.
January 26Jan 26 Author Thanks Werner and Gaetano I fear DIY an image exceeds my skils 😉 I tried linux-headers-arm64. Result: kernel downgraded to 6.12 and wrong links in /boot: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Dec 29 22:28 Image -> vmlinuz-6.18.2-current-meson64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jan 23 13:27 uInitrd -> uInitrd-6.12.63+deb13-arm64 Corrected, built ZFS but at the end USB not working. It's not worth the hassle. I ended up installing Armbian_25.8.1_Odroidhc4_bookworm_current_6.12.41_minimal.img Everything seams OK, especially ZFS. Anyway, the link to Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.151_Odroidhc4_trixie_current_6.18.2_minimal.img is not there anymore 🙂 Thanks for your time. Chris Edited January 26Jan 26 by ChrisO

January 30Jan 30 Author Thanks Igor. Just for reference, I also tried Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.332_Odroidhc4_forky_current_6.18.7_minimal.img apt update apt upgrade apt install linux-headers-current-meson64 apt install zfsutils-linux zfs-initramfs zfs-dkms zfs-zed Everything went fine and seams to working OK.
