I ran into a problem running sudo apt install linux-image-rpi-v8 linux-headers-rpi-v8
I get the following error message

@Spanishu exact same problem here. Probably due to lack of knowledge I tried to rollback the previous steps and reboot, but it never rebooted.
IMPORTANT: if you already removed the old kernel packages do not reboot until you have a kernel properly installed.
Double check your /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list and make sure you run "apt update"
You should have something similar to this in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
and like this in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list
deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ bookworm main
the new kernel packages come from the http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ repo listed in raspi.list.
Also, make sure you install the one for your raspi model.
linux-image-rpi-v8 is for Raspi 4
For older models you need the other kernels.
older kernel images were named like this:
kernel.img is 32-bit for BCM2835 (RPi1 & Zero)
kernel7.img is 32-bit for BCM2836 (RPi2) and BCM2837 (RPi3)
kernel7l.img is 32-bit for BCM2711 (RPi4)
kernel8.img is 64-bit for BCM2837 (RPi3) or BCM2711 (RPi4)
and the equivalent new kernel packages are
linux-image-rpi-v6
linux-image-rpi-v7
linux-image-rpi-v7l
linux-image-rpi-v8
and there is a linux-image-rpi-2712 which I believe is for Raspi 5.
My /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bookworm main contrib non-free rpi

Tested and worked successfully. Thank you very much.
@Spanishu , at risk of stating the obvious, you'll have to fix those key errors or you won't be able to find any of the packages.
In fact, if you had those errors you wouldn't have been able to run the initial update steps in the first place and shouldn't have continued.
@fgimenezm thanks. Unfortunately something went really wrong. I have decided to start with a brand new image from scratch. Not ideal but I am at least sure that I have those things covered. Thanks for the help and support!
NetworkManager is the new default network manager. So you might want to migrate with something like
systemctl enable --now NetworkManager
systemctl disable --now dhcpcd
nmcli radio wifi
# other nmcli command needed if using cli
not tested
great guide! thank you a lot! however after the upgrade when I try to enable read-only overlay, it also affects my external usb drives instead of just the SD card. Could anyone point me in the right direction to fix it?

For me this was because I had a 32 bit version installed on an RPi4. This worked:
sudo apt install linux-image-rpi-v7l linux-headers-rpi-v7l
I'm running into the same, trying to upgrade my raspberry pi 4b, with bullseye 32bits:

Now I'm afraid of rebooting it, as I didn't get the kernel properly installed.
linux-image-rpi-v8 Is 64bit
Read the comment right before yours
I've just realized that Raspbian and Raspberry Pi OS are not the same thing. Is that correct?
I tried to update my system using the script but had no success, I wonder if that it's even possible

I had problems running Kodi after the upgrade. A rpi-update fixed those.
Is this working for Desktop installs? Will Wayland just work or any way to do it without Wayland?
Hello,
About the change on dhcpd or static IP, when the link used is thru SSH (rpi as a server for example), it seems to me better if there is no reboot before the change, isn't it ?
what is proper content for /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list?
using:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
and
deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ bookworm main
caused me big problems. Pi 3B+ wouldnt boot. The original post indicates to keep the same repos and just change from bullseye to bookworm
# cat sources.list

This works with no issue. I have now tried the rev13 process on multiple systems and it appears to mostly work. You may have to hard power-cycle the system to get the network to properly show up.
Another item to note is that the /dev tree may change somewhat. My GPS device moved from /dev/serial0 to /dev/serial1 for instance.
This kinda works on a 32bit original Raspberry Pi B.
I did end up having /etc/apt/sources.list configured as
deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bookworm main contrib non-free rpi
YMMV on this one.
The guide worked for me with the following caveats:
- I was already using NetworkManager in Bullseye, so no NM related issues.
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo apt autoremove && sudo rebootBEFORE changingsources.list*- As I knew my lists had bookworm repositories, I changed all sources.list.d files as below (upstream
non-free-firmwareis NOT required, as firmware blobs are provided by raspi repositories):sudo sed -i -e 's/bullseye/bookworm/g' /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list - Backup
/boot/{cmdline,config}.txtbefore firmware install process, restore them into/boot/firmwareand create links to them in/boot, after firmware install. - No reboot until AFTER new kernel install.
- Disk size of firmware partition was increased as outlined below.
Optional Network Manager pre-prep
NetworkManagermigration is easier if it is installed and configured when the system is still runningBullseye, so that the upgrade toBookwormcauses no issues with WiFi connections. (same steps as post migration, but in Bullseye)
Optional Firmware partition pre-prep
- The firmware partition of the Bookwork RaspiOS image is 512M as compared to that of the Bullseye image, which is 256M; this however isn't strictly necessary, as the default firmware uses less than 50M space on the partition.
- In case this is done for mental satisfaction (like me), Please note that the process to double the size of the boot partition is very time-consuming as data from the partitions need to moved around, and this needs to be done offline, on another machine
- Change on the GUI via GParted is well documented online.
- Command-line process to do the same change is as below, with minor time optimization:
- Reduce the filesystem size of partition 2 to the absolute minimum, to prepare for shrinking the partition
sudo e2fsck -f /dev/mmcblk0p2 \ && sudo resize2fs -M /dev/mmcblk0p2 ```` - Reduce the partition down to reduced FS size to make free space after the partition - speeds up the part move process (boundary at multiples of 8192 sectors, rounded up, to work around bad SDCard limitations):
sudo parted /dev/mmcblk0 resizepart 2 $( ( sudo parted /dev/mmcblk0 unit b print; sudo tune2fs -l /dev/mmcblk0p2 ) | awk ' /^Block size/{s=$NF} /^Block count/{c=$NF} /^\s+2\s+/{b=substr($2, 1, length($2)-1)} END{print int((b+(c*s)+8192*512)/(8192*512))*8192*512 "B"} ' ) - Move the partition to leave the required space in the beginning (end value take from Bookworm image- start at 8192 sector + 512M; boundary at multiple of 8192):
echo '1056768,' | sudo sfdisk --move-data /dev/mmcblk0 -N 2 - Expand the firmware partition to fill empty space:
growpart /dev/mmcblk0 1 - Resize the firmware partition File system (backup files, mkfs anew, restore files)
sudo mkdir -p /media/fw-backup/src && \ sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/fw-backup/src && \ sudo rsync -av /media/fw-backup/src/ /media/fw-backup/dst/ && \ sudo umount /dev/mmcblk0p1 && \ sudo mkfs.fat /dev/mmcblk0p1 && \ sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/fw-backup/src && \ sudo rsync -av /media/fw-backup/dst/ /media/fw-backup/src/ && \ sudo umount /dev/mmcblk0p1 && \ sudo rm -fR /media/fw-backup/dst && \ sudo rmdir -p /media/fw-backup/dst && \- Expand the root partition back to fill empty space, and expand filesystem back to fill it:
sudo growpart /dev/mmcblk0 2 sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2
- Reduce the filesystem size of partition 2 to the absolute minimum, to prepare for shrinking the partition
@Spanishu and others who get the NO_PUBKEY errors such as NO_PUBKEY 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32 when using sudo apt update, you can try this solution:
To add the missing key, i.e. 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32, use the following command:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 54404762BBB6E853 BDE6D2B9216EC7A8 0E98404D386FA1D9 6ED0E7B82643E131 F8D2585B8783D481
Replace 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32, etc for each missing key. Those were the keys missing in my installation.
There will be a warning about apt-key is deprecated. I've not figured out how to add these keys without using apt-key yet. But at least it got the install going again.

Re-run the sudo apt update... line again after those keys are installed.
If sudo nmcli -p connection show presents an empty list, you may want to edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and look for the section:
[ifupdown]
managed=false
and change managed=true.
sudo service NetworkManager restart
sudo nmcli -p connection show
Thank you and very much appreciated! Lines 33 - 56 sorted the problem I was having!

It is likely you are upgrading from 32-bit to 64-bit or previously upgraded and saw your kernel with 64-bit, but didn't know your userland binaries were still using 32-bit.
You can verify by:
sudo dpkg --print-architecture
Which will likely show: armhf.
Then do:
sudo apt list linux-image-rpi*
You'll likely see all *armhf (32-bit) lines.
Since the package system is using 32-bit, it won't pull the needed 64-bit packages, including the kernel you want.
Check to see if you have another architecture enabled using:
sudo dpkg --print-foreign-architecture
It's likely blank.
If you want to add that 64-bit kernel:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture arm64
Then see the 64-bit package lists available for the kernel:
sudo apt list linux-image-rpi*
Now you should see the ...-V8 along with other *arm64 versions.
You can upgrade the kernel now, BUT you'll still be stuck with 32-bit userland binaries. Cross-grading from 32-bit to 64-bit can be done but it is tedious and requires around 6 to 8 hours for someone who has the skills. IMHO, it's not worth the time. You'll save a lot of time backing up your /home, /etc, /var, and other important directories or files along with the packages you installed. Install a fresh Bookworm 64-bit image, copy the backup files and directories over, and install those needed packages.

I installed the v7 (32bit) kernel and its working, but on a clone of this Rpi that has not been upgraded it was a 64bit kernel and 32bit userland. I'd like to get this system back to that, but when I run

any ideas?

It seem the comment from @thomastthai has an incorrect character in place of the first "-" in the various sudo dpkg --something commands. It looks almost identical (depending on the font), but it will cause this error if you've copy/pasted the command.
You just need to delete the two dash characters and type them yourself.

sudo dpkg --somethingcommands. It looks almost identical (depending on the font), but it will cause this error if you've copy/pasted the command. You just need to delete the two dash characters and type them yourself.
Thank you, that did allow me to add the arm64 architecture, but when I try to
sudo apt install linux-image-rpi-v8 linux-headers-rpi-v8
it still gives me an error that it is not found
When I try to do a
sudo apt update
I get new warnings about a deprecated key and notes like this
N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian bookworm InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64'
linux-image-rpi-v8 Is 64bit Read the comment right before yours
I know. I tired also to run instead:
sudo apt install linux-image-rpi-v7l linux-headers-rpi-v7lBut had the same result.
I ended up with a fresh install.
Perhaps there is already a solution on the comments above, but I reinstalled it a few weeks ago.
Awesome guide, thank you!
My 5c - upgraded my two Pis, the prickliest part was the NetworkManager in both cases.
In one case the machine was unable to connect even via cable after switching off dhcpcd, managed to revert via booting from SD card, mounting my SSD and doing
sudo chroot /mountdir sh
sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd
Afterwards I found that the correct way to switch to NetworkManager is to use raspi-config, which worked like a charm.
For Pi 5 there is a 2712 kernel, but it works with v8 as well.
Thanks to @anfractuosity and @fgimenezm for figuring out the kernel bit.
@omerfsen I do not recommend the bulk change from bullseye to bookworm as some repos may not yet have bookworm equivalents. These should be individually verified.
I have updated the gist to reflect these suggestions and have verified on one of my Pis.
