sysupgrade fails on evbarm7hf (rasperry pi 2)

[milestone]

Hello everyone

I tried to upgrade NetBSD from 7.0.1 to 7.0.2 but it fails.

sysupgrade kernel
sysupgrade: I: Skipping kernel installation (KERNEL not set)

At first the kernel was not recognized but I set it manual to RPI2

Next try:

sysupgrade auto ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetB...vbarm-earmv7hf

No error message, everything seems to be fine but:

uname -a
NetBSD berlin 7.0.1 NetBSD 7.0.1 (RPI2.201605221355Z) evbarm

Later I tried to upgrade from 7.0.1 to 7.1 but I got the same result. I still stay with 7.0.1 but don't know what I did wrong or where I could try to look.


Update:
Several months later, I tried it again with the same result.

Before I did a complete new installation with NetBSD 8.99.2 (RPI2)

sysupgrade auto ftp://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201711241510Z/evbarm-earmv7hf

uname -a
NetBSD armv7 8.99.2 NetBSD 8.99.2 (RPI2) #0: Tue Sep 12 07:19:36 UTC 2017  mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/RPI2 evbarm

Any ideas?

today I tried sysupgrade 8.99.8 -> 8.99.12

same result. No errors and after all I stay with 8.99.8

Maybe just a bug in the version file?

On the netbsd wiki it is mentioned how to upgrade the kernel [1]

Updating the kernel

• Build a new kernel, e.g. using build.sh. It will tell you where the ELF version of the kernel is, e.g.
  ...
  Kernels built from RPI2:
  /Users/feyrer/work/NetBSD/cvs/src-current/obj.evbarm-Darwin-XXX/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/RPI2/netbsd
  ...
• Besides the "netbsd" kernel in ELF format, there is also a "netbsd.bin" kernel that is in a format that the Raspberry can boot.
• Depending on your hardware version, copy this either to /boot/kernel.img (First generation Pi, Pi Zero hardware) or to /boot/kernel7.img (Pi 2, Pi 3 hardware)
• reboot

So I guess, that I have to copy the kernel into the directory /boot

#ls -l *.IMG
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7348948 Dec 3 21:03 KERNEL7.IMG

But which file do I need? None of the files are created with sysupgrade?
Or do I have to build the kernel by myself on the RPI and it is not possible with sysupgrade?
