add information

I made a test install on 5.35 (which is currently the latest on a download page), install on SATA. Apt update and the upgrade went fine. From our perspective, everything looks fine. Here are logs: http://ix.io/EHu

 

I see you made some modifications? In this case its hard to tell. What did you change?

I guess it was to the bad mount of the sdcard just after the release of 5.35 :

 

I guess @Flavio just need to change his fstab reboot and the update should go fine.

 

 

@Igor  I create a copy of armbianEnv.txt  with UUID of SD carts to have a copy to compile and boot from SD to backup or restore the SATA root partition.

I also create a backup of boot.scr  ( boot.scr.SD and boot.scr.SATA) no other change.

 

root@bananapi:/boot# diff armbianEnv.txt armbianEnv.txt.SD
6c6
< rootdev=UUID=93ddad32-4a3f-4ab2-bb68-939d23cd2ab9
---
> rootdev=UUID=f33f7df6-250e-499d-80fc-a8fd4441081e

 

Change The FSTAB now i have the following message:
