July 1 upgrade of Mobian Bookworm boot loops.

It must be the kernel update then. I can continue to boot from the Trixie installation on the main chip. And then use my rescuemobian script to continue trying the upgrades on the Bookworm installation. Edit this to your installation, and then continue to try upgrades from this temporary environment.

Code:

#! /bin/bash
cd /home/d1/root
mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /home/d1/boot
mount --bind /proc /home/d1/proc
mount --bind /sys /home/d1/sys
mount --bind /dev /home/d1/dev
mount --bind /run /home/d1/run
chroot /home/d1

Never mind then. I will treat this as a failing microSD card, and just remove it. Updates are slow. This is the second chip to be removed for this.

So. Updating another installation of Mobian on another microSD card causes a failure to boot again, Bookworm or Trixie. Has support in Mobian for booting from the removable chip lapsed?

I repaired the boot menu file on the second chip. This was needed to get a second boot on the PPP with recent Mobian. /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf is the file that needs repair for the incomplete menu entry.

Today, October 19, 2024, I had to disable the GDM service after a Debian/Mobian update. I used ssh to fix the usability issue.

Today, October 26, 2024, an automatic update of Debian disabled Mobian Trixie. I had to copy in a spare copy of /etc/systemd/system to recover.

The 6.12 linux kernel updates on Mobian are simply not supporting the PinePhone Pro. The backlight control is failing and everything is laggy.

I go into the extlinux.conf and specify the 6.6 kernel as default - very zippy by comparison.
