I got mine booting again. The /boot/Image link hadn't been updated. Nor the links in / but I'm not sure they are necessary anyway. I have a desktop and network but ssh won't let me in for some reason. I'll have to get a keyboard and mouse attached. On the upside the fan is working 🙂 While I was rummaging around I noticed I have a dtb overlay for the fan. I thought I had disabled it. It was based on the one here but IIRC I cut it down somewhat. I can look into it more if you still have issues.

I am using zfs so I have to lag behind a bit. Also I have uboot not EFI. I actually tried to downgrade to current last night... and it wouldn't boot. I'm running from SD so I'll stick it in my laptop tonight to see what's what. Might try EFI if I have to start again.

I feel I should mention that 6.19.6 has problems for me (one core is constantly pegged for no apparent reason, some processes hang and can't be killed) so you might want to try current first (6.18.2?). It may not be optimized fanwise but it should still work.

It works for me on an edge kernel (I have 6.19.6). I think current kernels will work too. You can change them using armbian-config. Not sure if you will lose anything, the newer kernels are pretty feature-complete for RK3588.

You aren't telling us much, like what software you are using. I would expect you to need to give it something like smb://10.10.2.101/NAME_OF_SHARE/ or sftp://10.10.2.101:/path/to/folder You will also need to give it a username and password somehow. But first; have you checked you can reach it on the network?

What does that mean? What did you do?

If there is nothing in /boot at all then its content is probably in another partition which gets mounted while booting. You will need to find that partition and mount it in your PC to modify it.

If the file is not in /boot could you have accidentally deleted it? Maybe try recreating it. In general, if you have boot problems you should attach a serial to USB cable and see what uboot is saying.

I would check out the boards with Platinum Support. Go to the vendor sites to see if they include or sell a fan for their board. Look for something with a Rockchip RK3576, plenty of RAM, and EMMC or UFS. RK3588 usually needs a fan.

Did you do Update All after removing knotes? If you were running wayland you will probably need to use Ctrl-Alt-F3 as wayland uses F1 and there is an (unusable) X server on F2 for xwayland. Then, after logging in sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade If that's not enough try sudo apt install task-kde-desktop

You can remove packages in Discover.

It looks like knotes has been replaced with Marknotes. Remove knotes and, if you like, install marknotes. It is supposed to import your old knotes data.

What version of the kernel is being installed? As yet ZFS only supports up to 6.16.

The armbian edge image for the FriendlyElec CM3588-NAS is currently on kernel 6.17 but has no HDMI audio despite it having been added in 6.15 (I think). This is simply because it has not been enabled in the device tree for this board. You can enable it with this user overlay: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { fragment@0 { target-path = "/hdmi0-sound"; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; }; }; fragment@1 { target-path = "/hdmi1-sound"; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; }; }; };

I would put boot and system on the eMMC. Then it will run with or without the SSD, which I would reserve for data. Things like VMs and containers that get a lot of writes can go on the SSD and be symbolically linked to their system folders.
