I think there`s something awry or different in some way on the older
system. There is a hardware difference, the older system (which is a
2Gb Pi 4B) boots in the standard way from an SD card. The newer
system (which is a 1Gb Pi 4B) boots from USB.
The contents of /boot are different on the two systems:-
Newer Pi 4B (wiht kernel 6.6.62):-
chris@newodinpi$ ls /boot
System.map-6.6.51+rpt-rpi-2712 config-6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v8
initrd.img-6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v8 vmlinuz-6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v8
System.map-6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v8 config-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712
initrd.img-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712 vmlinuz-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712
System.map-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712 config-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-v8
initrd.img-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-v8 vmlinuz-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-v8
System.map-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-v8 config.txt issue.txt
cmdline.txt firmware overlays
config-6.6.51+rpt-rpi-2712 initrd.img-6.6.51+rpt-rpi-2712
vmlinuz-6.6.51+rpt-rpi-2712
chris@newodinpi$
Older Pi 4B (with kernel 6.1.21):-
chris@homepi$ ls /boot
COPYING.linux bcm2710-rpi-zero-2.dtb cmdline.txt fixup_cd.dat start4.elf
LICENCE.broadcom bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb config.txt fixup_db.dat

The newer system has all the bcm and similar files in
/boot/firmware. I can`t see the vmlinuz
files and such anywhere on the older system.
The older system does seem to have a rather anomolous configuration:-
root@homepi# apt-file search vmlinuz-6.6.62
linux-image-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712: /boot/vmlinuz-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712
linux-image-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-v8: /boot/vmlinuz-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-v8
So apt thinks the vmlinuz files should be in /boot but they
definitely aren`t there.
It also shows the version as 6.6.62 and that *isn`t* the actually
running kernel.
I have just tried:-
apt reinstall linux-image-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-v7
apt reinstall linux-image-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-v8
apt reinstall linux-image-6.6.51+rpt-rpi-2712
But apart from installing the vmlinuz files in /boot that hasn`t
changed anything,
it still boots into a 6.1.21 kernel.
It seems maybe as if something in the boot sequence is different/wrong.
