I suspect some are not aware that there is another distant & somewhat related problem:
- Start off with KP51.
- Backup in full using Backupmenu.
- Upgrade to KP52.
- Restore using last backup.
Above would unlikely work if my reasoning is correct:
Start off with KP51.
Backup in full using Backupmenu.
. - Kernel in dedicated NAND partition is KP51.
. - /lib/modules/current points to KP51 modules.
. - Note:
Can't backup kernel in dedicated NAND partition
.
Upgrade to KP52.
. - Kernel in dedicated NAND partition is now KP52.
. - /lib/modules/current points to KP52 modules.
Restore using last backup.
. - Note: Restore can't restore kernel to dedicated NAND partition.
. - Kernel in dedicated NAND partition
is still KP52
.
. -
/lib/modules/current points to KP51
modules as per backup.
. - KP52 modules are non-existent anywhere (as per backup).
Above results in a "bricked" device as kernel modules can't be found.
I probably had this several counts & had a couple of useless backups as a result. As a result, am much more careful with backups especially when using KP.
