Thanks. You are very fast, even on christmas

Hmm I can't really verify it as I'm not at home atm, but probably package rpi-eeprom is not available on Raspberry OS Stretch. As you are using RPi4, DietPi is trying to install that package. 🤔

[MichaIng]

How is it even possible to run a Stretch image on RPi 4? This has never been compatible, AFAIK RPi 4 support has never been added to this 4.19 kernel shipped with Stretch, has it? That was the reason why Raspbian Buster was released together with Raspberry Pi 4 even before Debian Buster was.

@Volker13
Did you move the SD card from an older RPi model or how did you set this system?

[Volker13]

I bought the RPi4 together with an allo digione signature hat an the SD card with the preinstalled dietpi.

[Joulinar]

Probably better to use the new Allo Buster image than continuing running old Stretch

[MichaIng]

Ah, so Allo ships the SD card with Stretch pre-installed? That would be an issue indeed, I'm confused that it boots at all. In case, I see there is a selector on the product page for RPi 3 and RPi 4 choice. Do you remember if this existed when you ordered it? Since the hardware most likely it the same (HATs dimensions should be cross-compatible), it probably is to choose the image.

As @Joulinar suggested, I'd also recommend to re-flash our current Buster image, the one with Allo web UI pre-installed if required: https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/DietPi_RPi-ARMv7-Buster_AlloGUI.7z
Else the regular one from our download page (without any pre-installed audio software): https://dietpi.com/#download
Another reason for this, aside of much never software packages, is that we'll drop update support for Debian/Raspbian Stretch in summer, when Debian Bullseye is officially released.

[Volker13]

Where can I download this image from?

[Volker13]

I bought this all together 2 days ago. I select the rpi 4 and not the rpi 3. it was a plug&play set

[Volker13]

I will re-flash the current Buster image tomorrow.
Thanks so much and merry Christmas from Berlin. Stay healthy

[Joulinar]

Merry Christmas to you as well from Berlin to Berlin 😉

[MichaIng]

Many thanks and merry Xmas back.

Thanks for the info, I need to ask Allo then to use our new image or update the ones they use, as that Stretch one with RPi 4 and in general will be no joy for anyone 😄.

[Volker13]

Update ok, problem solved

[Joulinar]

indeed would be good if Allo can switch to Buster as we had some messages for Allo images running Stretch 😉
