Upgrade from Buster to Bullseye failed.

Hi, first of all many thanks a lot for providing this script!

However, I have problem.
I realized Bullseye was not supported on QNAP only at the end of the upgrade from Buster, when I got the following message:

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.140) ...

I tried to run your script in dry mode, but it failed because both fw_setenv and fw_printenv required -V (vs -v) to check the version.
I updated the script and it succeeded:

    SUCCESS. You can reboot now.

    Notes:
    - Don't perform kernel or system update before the next reboot...
      so don't wait too long.
    - Consider compressing initrd with 'xz' to optimize the size with:

        echo "COMPRESS=xz" > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/compress

I thought rebooting would have failed at this point, so I tried to complete the upgrade by running apt full-upgrade once again, but I got the same error message:

Not enough space for kernel in MTD 'Kernel' (need 2448968 but is actually 2097152).

So, I rebooted and, as expected, it failed booting:

### Booting image at 00800000
Bad Magic Number

What can I do now? :-(
I'm on a QNAP TS-221.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi, you did exactly the same I did with -v vs. -V and discovered in the worst way that fw_setenv on Bullseye is not backward compatible with older versions, it comes from a different code base. Further readings: sbabic/libubootenv#18, https://groups.google.com/g/swupdate/c/tZMm_eTl9fE/m/RYqzpZM5DgAJ.

Your situation is a bit more complicated than mine in that, if I got it right, you also messed up with the content of the kernel partition. Do you have accessible MTD backup images? If so you can follow these instructions to boot via tftp: https://cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/qnap/ts-219/uboot/.

lpaolini commented

Yes, I do have a backup of the MTD (in the form of flashable image) I made before I changed the MTD partitions by running the script in this project.

This is what I did for creating the backup:

modprobe mtdblock
cat /dev/mtdblock0 /dev/mtdblock4 /dev/mtdblock5 /dev/mtdblock1 /dev/mtdblock2 /dev/mtdblock3 > F_TS-219_current
lpaolini commented

To recap:

  • I modified the "check" part in the script: -V instead -v
  • I ran your script in dry mode and it succeeded
  • I run it again (this time without dry-run) and it succeeded, updating the u-boot config
  • I didn't reboot and tried to complete the Debian upgrade, which failed as probably couldn't pickup partition changes
  • I rebooted, and it failed booting

Yes, I got serial console.

cavokz commented

First of all, make a duplicate of all the backups you have and put them aside ;)

Yes, I do have a backup of the MTD (in the form of flashable image) I made before I changed the MTD partitions by running the script in this project.

The script also made a backup of the mtd partitions individually, would be easier to use that.

This is what I did for creating the backup:

modprobe mtdblock
cat /dev/mtdblock0 /dev/mtdblock4 /dev/mtdblock5 /dev/mtdblock1 /dev/mtdblock2 /dev/mtdblock3 > F_TS-219_current

All you need is kernel and initrd partitions. If all you have is this backup you need to slice them back to individual files.

Looks good. I actually overlooked the first error message you posted. Your MTD might actually be 100% healthy and bootable. In that case you don't need to play with the tftp at all.

You can quickly try with:

setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram initrd=0xb00000,0xc00000 ramdisk=34816 mem=768M cmdlinepart.mtdparts="spi0.0:512k@0(uboot)ro,3M@0x100000(Kernel),12M@0x400000(RootFS1),2M@0x200000(Kernel_legacy),256k@0x80000(U-Boot Config),256k@0xc0000(NAS Config)" mtdparts="spi0.0:512k@0(uboot)ro,3M@0x100000(Kernel),12M@0x400000(RootFS1),2M@0x200000(Kernel_legacy),256k@0x80000(U-Boot Config),256k@0xc0000(NAS Config)"

This is not a permanent fix but could allow you to boot back into the system. You may need to adjust also the bootcmd variable. Side note, there is a watchdog and might kick while you are editing ;)

If it works you can repeat everything and use saveenv to make it permanent.

After running that long single-line command I tried running boot (is this correct?) but it failed again, with the same Bad Magic Number error.

The bootcmd (which is the one executed when you do boot) needs to be adjusted. I used a piece of paper, wrote down all the numbers, old and new, and figured out what to put where. I suggest to keep a log of the attempts you do.

Yay, a step forward!
Now it starts booting kernel 4.19.0 from Buster, as the upgrade to Bullseye didn't complete as it could not flash the kernel.

However, after a few seconds it halts with a kernel panic Unable to mount root fs on unknownblock(1,0)

I guess the target is to find a way for running again the flash-kernel command, now that MTD Kernel partition can fit the new kernel, but I don't really know how to do that.

I hope you can help me with this as I don't know how to solve it.

From the line

[    0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram initrd=0xa00000,0x900000 ramdisk=34816 mem=768M

in your bootlog, I see that you are using the wrong bootargs. Could you try with setting it as I pointed in #9 (comment)?

lpaolini commented

YES!!! It booted Bullseye using the old kernel!

Then I ran apt full-upgrade for flashing the new kernel and initrd into the expanded partitions, rebooted, reapplied the setenv ... command you provided and made the change persistent with saveenv.

Thanks a lot @cavokz and @amouiche, you saved my life! :-)

It's the time to save that u-boot env somewhere safe ;)

I'll do. Thanks a million!
