      I had already tried installing the 4.9.35-v7 + kernel via .deb, but it did not work either.

      You shouldn't try installing .deb files directly. What happens if you try to run:

      sudo apt-get -y install raspberrypi-kernel raspberrypi-kernel-headers
      

      This should install

              @luizoti Looks right, except the kernel you're running is not the one in this package. Did you manually install another kernel over the distro-provided kernel ?

                I would not know how to do it, if I did it, I did not mean to.

                Would rpi-update have the ability to install another kernel?

                  OK, so reading more - the mismatch is because of the Berryboot env. It boots with the Berryboot kernel and not with the Raspbian kernel (the one included in the raspberrypi-kernel), hence the problem.
                  I also found https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/1428. As said in the issue, one solution is to use the RetroPie image instead of the Berryboot one.

                    The solution is not to use Berryboot?

                    Do you know a way to convert a berryboot image to normal SD?

                      I don't, didn't work with Berryboot, only normal images.

                        Thanks for the help, I'll look for a way to convert an image.
