I'm trying to update my kernel to the latest version. apt
is updated and upgraded, and rpi-update
finishes without error. However when I reboot, I'm still running the old kernel. Any ideas?
$ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 3.10.26+ #2 Fri Jan 17 22:13:59 EST 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux
$ sudo rpi-update

If it makes any difference, I'm running Raspbian (Wheezy) in QEMU on a Mac.
/boot
when the system is running. Check what file is pointed to bykernel=
inconfig.txt
, and what.img
files are there (those are all kernels).rpi-update
will be useless for most purposes; it probably doesn't use the firmware either).
