    Hi,

    I'm not sure if something "wrong" but I have still an old kernel:

    root@rpi /e/a/apt.conf.d# uname -rv
    4.1.10-v7+ #821 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 10 00:16:28 BST 2015
    

    I thought, it will be installed throuhg apt-get? Or is it "blocked" by some configuration?

    My source.list contains:
    deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian jessie main contrib non-free rpi

    My normal rpi has some newer kernel:
    4.9.28-v7+ #998 SMP Mon May 15 16:55:39 BST 2017

    Any ideas, why no update is aviable?

    Thanks
    Henning

    The newer images from 2016 do receive kernel updates with the regular raspbx-upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade calls. Eventually you are running an older image from 2015, please call rpi-update to get a newer kernel.
