Kernel not upgrading in all systems

From Gary Dale@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 8 18:10:01 2025

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
I have a few systems running Debian/Stable (Bookworm). However the
kernel version isn't always the same for some reason. After this
morning's update, I noticed that 2 of the 3 systems upgraded the kernel
but to different versions. This is shown by running uname -a.

The first is a VM. It has been using this kernel for a while now, as it
hasn't updated any packages recently. It is updated from the Debian U.S. repositories.

/ Linux VM1 6.1.0-21-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.90-1 (2024-05-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux/

The second is a real machine. The kernel updated this morning. It is
updated from the Canadian mirrors.

/ Linux RM1 6.1.0-21-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.90-1 (2024-05-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux/

The third is also a real machine. It hosts the VM (among others). It
also updated the kernel today.It is also updated from the Canadian mirrors.

/ Linux RM2 6.1.0-31-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.128-1 (2025-02-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux
/

Running |/dpkg -l | grep "^hi" / and confirming with ||/dpkg
--get-selections | grep "\<hold$"/ shows that I have no held packages.|

|The hardware (real and virtual) is similar in that they are all running
AMD CPUs (Ryzen).|

|I run the updates on all 3 machines at least weekly, so I'm wondering
why they aren't all getting the same kernel upgrades. Why did RM1 only
get a 9 month old update today while RM2 got an update from yesterday
already?

How did you attempt the actual uprade? Note that "apt upgrade" is not
enough, you need to do "apt full-upgrade" when the kernel ABI has been increased (NN+ in linux-image-6.1.0-NN-amd64).

Did you reboot? "uname -a" shows the running kernel, which is not
necessarily the newest installed kernel.

What you really want to do is compare the output of "uname -a" (which
shows the running kernel) with the output of "ls /boot/vmlinuz-*"
(which shows the installed kernel images). That'll tell you whether
a reboot is needed, at least in most cases.[1]

How did you attempt the actual uprade? Note that "apt upgrade" is not
enough, you need to do "apt full-upgrade" when the kernel ABI has been increased (NN+ in linux-image-6.1.0-NN-amd64).

You're thinking of apt-get upgrade. What you said is correct concerning apt-get, but apt upgrade *will* bring in new kernel packages by default,
so long as the metapackage is installed.

The metapackage in question is the one without an ABI version number
in it, but with the architecture in it. For me, it is named
linux-image-amd64. On other architectures, it would be linux-image-ARCH.

I would recommend that Gary check whether this is installed on the one
system that appears not to have upgraded the kernel.

[1] Sometimes, *very* rarely, a kernel security patch may be released
that doesn't change the ABI version number. In this case, ls wouldn't
show you that there's a newer kernel installed but not yet running.
You'd have to use something like "dpkg -l linux-image\* | grep ^.i"
to see the actual package version numbers, and compare that against
the *second* version number in the output of "uname -a".

Dis you install the package "linux-image-amd64" ? If yes, the it should always update to the newest kernel.

(Same for package "linux-headers-amd64")

I always reboot after a kernel upgrade so uname -a should always return
the current installed kernel.

All 3 systems have the linux-image-amd64 metapackage installed.

After today's upgrades, I note that RM1 showed these autoremove messages "Removing linux-headers-6.1.0-30-amd64 (6.1.124-1) ..." and "Removing linux-image-6.1.0-30-amd64 (6.1.124-1) ..." while RM2 showed "Removing linux-headers-6.1.0-31-amd64 (6.1.128-1) ...". RM1 but no mention of linux-image.
