Describe your issue

since doing a system update for recent security issues, i received this warning:

Unable to extract mainline kernel version from the kernel info '#2 SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 11 12:42:01 UTC 2026' ... Therefore YunoHost will be unable to check for security issues related to the kernel. Please try to report this message to the YunoHost team to improve the situation

Share relevant logs or error messages

not sure if there’s a log i can share? happy to if needed…

you could check your kernel release with

cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease

or maybe

uname -r

it seems diagnostics have slight issue

Can you elaborate which board exactly ?

Also I assume you used an armbian image for the install ?

hi aleks & ynh.

i’m running via armbian image, yes, and my board is a rockchip64 from pine64, i think this one: ROCKPro64 - PINE64.

calling cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease outputs: 6.18.10-current-rockchip64

I’m all so dealing with this on a RPi4

Hi, just wanted to add that I’m also facing this problem on a RPi4:
