I flashed same image to a SD card and tried to boot from it.

Hi, I’m new to the forum and just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the incredible work Armbian has done for the community. I have been tinkering around with Radxa rock 5 ITX SBC and Armbian. I flashed UEFI EDK2 for Radxa rock 5 ITX  v1.1 from EDK2 porting to RK3588 initiative. While I can install ARM64 version of Ubuntu and Debian, none of them had support for H/W transcoding. So I decided to build an Armbian which used vendor kernel and had `uefi-edk2-3588` extension. Full build report is linked in this Armbian paste ./compile.sh \ BOARD=rock-5-itx \ RELEASE=trixie \ BRANCH=vendor \ BUILD_MINIMAL=yes \ BUILD_DESKTOP=no \ KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no \ NETWORKING_STACK=systemd-networkd \ EXPERT=yes \ CLEAN_LEVEL=extras \ ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=mesa-vpu,uefi-edk2-rk3588 \ KERNEL_BTF=yes \ SHARE_LOG=yes \ CONSOLE_AUTOLOGIN=no \ build I flashed the resulting image to a usb stick and booted system off it. This is when I had encountered problems. armbian-upgrade complained about a readonly system root@rock-5-itx:~# armbian-upgrade Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie InRelease Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie-updates InRelease Hit:3 http://security.debian.org trixie-security InRelease Hit:4 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie-backports InRelease Hit:5 https://github.armbian.com/configng stable InRelease Ign:6 http://mirror.twds.com.tw/armbian-apt trixie InRelease Err:7 http://mirror.twds.com.tw/armbian-apt trixie Release Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/apt.armbian.com_dists_trixie_Release -
