Debian Bookworm moves cmdline.txt from /boot to /boot/firmware

pbolduc opened this issue · comments

In the Raspberry Pi Documentation, it states since Bookworm the boot partition https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html has been moved from /boot to /boot/firmware/. The Activating cgroup support needs to change the path based on the distribution of Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS.

With this broken, cgroups are not configured correctly and k3s will not start.

Expected Behavior

When installing on Bookworm, the config.txt file should be updated correctly to enable cgroups.

Current Behavior

During setup, the master/control nodes cannot start k3s server because the cgroups are not configured. The task completes but is modifying the wrong file.

Checking the logs with journalctl

  2. Install k3s using ansible-playbook site.yml

Possible Solution

In this file is where the path to config.txt is specified. I suspect in main.yml when Bookworm is detected, some variable or something needs to change the path.

#456 is meant to handle this. Awaiting feedback on failing molecule test.
