For what its worth, I switched my NanoPi Neo to DietPi. It also uses the armbian kernel, but I found it better supported. Linux nano 6.18.45-current-sunxi #1 SMP Wed Aug 19 16:18:21 UTC 2026 armv7l GNU/Linux There was something like you mentioned with the load_addr they fixed last year. https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/7557

That's good to know. I haven't installed the later 6.1.47 version. I've still got the kernel frozen at 6.1.30 and it's running fine. Maybe the slightly older official version is better than the latest. I've thought about trying to upgrade to the latest community build, since it's been some time, hoping they've fixed it, but I'm hesitant.

I don't think I've ever tried to connect the NanoPi to the PC to access the SD card. I didn't know there was such a thing. I just use a usb SD card adapater.

Thank you! It looks like what I had was pretty close, anyway. The last one was: Armbian_23.8.1_Nanopineo_bookworm_current_6.1.47 from August 2023.

Back in March I ran into problems with the community builds for the NanoPi Neo, for Debian Bookworm. It would boot up initially, but within 30 minutes or so, it would crash. So I did a fresh install from the last official build I had saved from June 2023: Armbian_23.5.2_Nanopineo_bookworm_current_6.1.30 And then I froze these packages to keep the working firmware and kernel: armbian-firmware/bookworm,bookworm 24.2.1 all [upgradable from: 23.05.1--1-SAfece-B6ae3] linux-dtb-current-sunxi/bookworm 24.2.1 armhf [upgradable from: 23.05.1--6.1.30-Sa343-D8bc9-P73a0-C162eHfe66-HK01ba-V014b-B9c18] linux-image-current-sunxi/bookworm 24.2.1 armhf [upgradable from: 23.05.1--6.1.30-Sa343-D8bc9-P73a0-C162eHfe66-HK01ba-V014b-B9c18] linux-u-boot-nanopineo-current/bookworm 24.2.1 armhf [upgradable from: 23.05.1--2022.04-Se4b6-P6b27-H0429-Ve2df-B91a8] I know there are newer official builds from when it was still supported, but I can't find them available for download anymore. Do you know if there's an archive somewhere that would have it? Thanks.
