No, I just had that impression, it might be the toolset, settings etc. Thank you @Werner, I'll look at that when I have time.

In my case, I have 10+ of OPi boards in the drawer, which I wanted to put to some good use. I started with the single one in use. I said "23.8.1" worked, but with a single apt update/upgrade it gets stuck on boot. I spent a day debugging the issue to no avail, so I put that away. I'm with no firewall and PiHole now, ads really suck. I'll revisit the issue when my current project is over. ... or just put an RPi 3 there... @Moklev, thank you for the pointers. I wonder: If the kernel is broken, why does the community create new image versions?

Never mind, still broken, 23.8.1 worked.

Pardon me for asking here. I need to re-install OPi PC 2 -which I use as a firewall/router- because the old Ubuntu from 2020 is EOL. - Is the kernel problem stated here still an issue? Latest DL is Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.667_Orangepipc2_jammy_current_6.6.31_gnome_desktop.img.xz - I also have Armbian_23.8.1_Orangepipc2_jammy_current_6.1.47_xfce_desktop.img.xz from the archives. Which one is to go? When I start, I'll probably lose my Internet connection...
