Learning by doing

Quote:In theory it looks simple. Power up Pi1, install pi2 kernel, power down and move card to pi2.

In practice I need to do more research and then check in with what I think the process is before I do it and make a mess of things.
It's a new learning curve for me, that's going to do me some good I hope. As a hint, is the kernel for pi2 in xbian github, or where?

Kernel package is like all other packages in XBian's repository, for example you can find kernel for rpi2/3 here

You have to do a bit more:

1) you have to modify file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian
change everything you find rpi_jessie (or rpi_stretch) to rpi2_jessie (resp rpi2_stretch)
2) sudo apt-get update # refresh package list
3) cd /tmp; apt-get download linux-image-bcm2836 # download latest kernel package for rpi2/3
4) sudo dpkg --force-all -r xbian-package-kernel # remove rp1 kernel
5) sudo dpkg -i linux-image-bcm2836*.deb # install rpi2/3 kernel
6) if dpkg complains any dependency errors, you have to run sudo apt-get install -f
7) shut down and move sd-card into rpi2
