What to do after kernel modules copy?

#1

Hey everyone,

I’ve a custom Debian which runs 6.8.1 kernel. I’ve built kernel modules from 6.8.0 with the same kernel config. I’ve copied these files in order:

  • Image
  • dtb
  • /lib/modules/

I’ve copied all modules under same directory for 6.8.1 but I have version mismatch errors.
I’ve also updated extlinux.conf file according to my settings but currently the Rock5B is not booting up.

What steps should I apply before I reboot the device after copying kernel modules?
Is it the same for every version like can I upgrade 5.10 to 6.8 the same way?

#2

Rebuild all modules of 6.8.1.

#3

I did. I’ve copied under /lib/modules. Now I have 2 kernel modules folder. I also have Image.
What to do next after copying?

#4

Copy the 6.8.1 image to the Image file. dtb probably still is the same.

#5

There is now two kernel modules directory with different versions. Is Image file selecting which one to load?

#6

Boot with different image, check version with

uname -r
