'Warning: Bad CRC, using default environment' ? about armhf HOT 5 CLOSED

This warning is displayed when you try to access an uninitialized on-disk u-boot environment.
If you have serial access you may just interrupt the boot process by typing CR and then:

saveenv
reset

saveenv stores the current u-boot working environment on disk. During startup u-boot initializes the working environment with the environment stored on disk, if this fails u-boot falls back to the built-in environment. IMHO the HK images are shipped with an uninitialized (or empty) u-boot environment.

Linux odroid 3.10.92-76

Btw. your kernel package isn't up to date.

Hello Uli and thanks again. saveenv/reset works perfectly.

your kernel package isn't up to date.

That's odd. https://github.com/mdrjr/odroid-utility claims it is. Which version are you running and how did you install it?

Thanks again.

from armhf.

Kernel version 3.10.96 is available.

You should have installed the kernel via

sudo apt-get install linux-image-xu3

It might be the case that the install package is held back, then

sudo apt-get upgrade linux-image-xu3

or manual interaction with sudo aptitude should fix this.

Thanks again Uli. I'll not hijack this issue any longer as it is definitely closed. However I tried the install linux-image-xu3 and it again claimed the kernel was up to date. I'll worry about that later :)
