ISSUE - You appear to be using a custom kernel file

#1 Post by skprojects »

I'm sharing a post of mine form another forum, figured I should come to the source instead. https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopi ... 8#p2029608

The issue that I'm running into right now is that I cannot upgrade my kernel through the sudo rip-update command. I keep getting this error of:
"You appear to be using a custom kernel file.
Skipping installation of new kernel, as bundled dtb files may be incompatible with your kernel."

Not to sure why it is telling me that I have this because I followed the correct steps in downloading and setting up the OS. If you curious I just followed network chucks video on setting it up.

Does anyone have any guidance on how to get my kernel to 5.15?



***Below is the comment/update to my own post for context and link above****
Upgraded to bullseye from buster. It took a while but it looks to have resolved some issues with the errors that I am getting.
I am still using the kernel 5.10.43v64.
I think this is still the issue ^^^

When I try to run libcamera-hello the issue I am getting now is:
Mde X/EGL preview window
INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:293 libcamera v0.0.0+3700-f30ad033
ERROR:***no cameras available ***

So I checked and I still have my dtoverlay=ov5467

I enabled my legacy camera in the interface.

Now I checked my vcgencmd get_camera and I get:
supported = 1 detected = 0, libcamera interfaces =1
**I read that now since I'm using bullseye that this will always tell me 0 for detected.

I figured it is still my kernel that I cannot update for what ever reason. When I run rpi-update:
"You appear to be using a custom kernel file.
Skipping installation of new kernel, as bundled dtb files may be incompatible with your kernel.

Not to sure why it is telling me that I have this because I followed the correct steps in downloading and setting up the OS. If you curious I just followed network chucks video on setting it up.

Hello,

Standard Debian distribution does not use the "rpi-update" command to update the kernel. In [1] is reported:
This is only intended for use with Raspberry Pi OS. If you are using a different distribution then check with the maintainers if using rpi-update is safe. Even on Raspberry Pi OS you should only use this with a good reason. [..]
In Debian, to update the kernel, the commands are usually (as root) providing you have network access:

Code: Select all

apt update
apt upgrade
Upgraded to bullseye from buster. It took a while but it looks to have resolved some issues with the errors that I am getting. I am still using the kernel 5.10.43v64.
The current standard Debian Kernel for arm64 architecture is 5.10.127 (see [2]) with Debian Bullseye 11.4 . But Raspberry Pi OS is not Debian, even if it is derived from Debian.
