@Hannes it looks like you have "held packages" - this tells apt that you do not want it to upgrade them.

Hi @porg, Yes, it should be fine to do it as @BrewNinja did - but you can also copy from another machine on your LAN. There are interactive questions - if it asks you if you want to update that file, tell it not to (which is the default anyway)

If anybody needs the steps for the older 5.10.110 kernel, I have those as well. They are a bit uglier - since the kernel source and header installation includes various garbage files , including binaries for non-arm64 platforms.

If you want to build out-of-tree kernel modules, you will need: kernel headers (installed with apt) kernel sources in /usr/src (cloned from git) kernel config (from /proc/config.gz) some preparation of the sources (but you can avoid building it 😉) # Install kernel headers apt install -y linux-headers-legacy-rk35xx # Install kernel source cd /usr/src git clone https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip.git ln -nsf linux-rockchip linux-5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx cd linux-rockchip git checkout rk-5.10-rkr6 # Prepare kernel source zcat /proc/config.gz >.config yes | make olddefconfig make prepare modules_prepare cp /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/Module.symvers .

I used a cheap eMMC to SD adapter to write the armbian image directly the EMMC rather than an SD card. That's how I usually install armbian.

Step 1 - Install the Armbian PGP key and update your APT sources Install armbian.gpg to /usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg (mode 644) You can use a copy from another one of your SBCs, or... ... you can download and install like below (thanks @BrewNinja for the example) touch /usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg chmod 644 /usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg wget https://apt.armbian.com/armbian.key -O - | gpg --dearmor >/usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg Edit /etc/apt/sources.list Replace all instances of bullseye with bookworm Edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg] http://apt.armbian.com bookworm main bookworm-utils bookworm-desktop Edit any other files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as appropriate, to replace bullseye with bookworm Step 2 apt update Step 3 NOTE - WHEN RUNNING THE BELOW COMMANDS, DO NOT ACCEPT ANY INTERACTIVE PROMPTS FOR CHANGING /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf The default is not to accept the changes anyway - but I am noting this here to be extra careful I've checked - the changes may differ from what armbian has in the latest images apt upgrade --no-new-pkgs apt full-upgrade apt dist-upgrade

At least for legacy kernels, it possible to use Radxa's overlay for the 25W PoE hat. This should allow you to use the PWM fan on the PoE hat. #!/bin/bash # Install linux headers apt-get install -y linux-headers-legacy-rk35xx # Download and compile the device tree overlay h=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/radxa/overlays/f2679399887b678dec62cb50cb44c767a2bcb293/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/overlays/rock-5b-radxa-25w-poe.dts cpp -nostdinc -I $h/include -I $h/arch -undef -x assembler-with-cpp rock-5b-radxa-25w-poe.dts | dtc -I dts -O dtb -o rock-5b-radxa-25w-poe.dtbo # Install device tree overlay mkdir -p /boot/overlay-user mv rock-5b-radxa-25w-poe.dtbo /boot/overlay-user echo 'user_overlays=rock-5b-radxa-25w-poe' >>/boot/armbianEnv.txt

For me, the following works: Foresee 64GB EMMC, 512GB NVME (no SD card) Running armbian-install, choosing Boot from SD + system on SATA/USB/NVME Rebooting Perhaps when you were resizing, repartitioning, etc., your boot volume, something got messed up?

I'm trying the same config at the moment, will let you know
