February 18, 20242 yr I was getting kernel panics and discovered that my 32 GB Rock 5B Blue Edition just crashes when I try to malloc 8-9 gigabtes of memory. Is there a way to specify that this board has 32 GB ram? 5.10 works fine.
February 18, 20242 yr For now using 5.10 vendor bsp is the way to go. 6.8 is - as the name implies - bleeding edge and problems are to be expected. This will most likely be addressed upstream sooner or later. MAY take a while since there seems to be a general shortage in 32G boards due to the lack of available memory chips.
February 18, 20242 yr Author Thanks! I was wrong with the kernel - same panic happens also on the old 23.11.1-legacy Armbian with the vendor's 5.10.160 kernel. The one that works is Joshua Riek's Ubuntu build (still 5.10.160). Maybe DTB related? Edited February 18, 20242 yr by foxx1337
February 18, 20242 yr Hm this is odd. Joshua's and our kernel sources are very close. He did some adjustments for packaging and directly integrated some wifi stuff but that's it...
