October 24, 20241 yr Author Solution I was able to recover. Here's what I did: copied /boot/config-6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx to /boot/config-6.10.6-current-rockchip-rk3588 and was able to get apt upgrade to complete successfully. ran sudo apt list --installed | egrep "linux-dtb|linux-image" used apt remove to removed the packages listed except for linux-dtb-current-rockchip-rk3588 linux-image-current-rockchip-rk3588 ran sudo apt install --reinstall linux-dtb-current-rockchip-rk3588 linux-image-current-rockchip-rk3588 to reinstall both packages froze Armbian kernel upgrades in armbian-config rebooted
November 6, 20241 yr I installed this kernel on a Rock 5B. Although the above fixed the issue for the original poster the failure of configure stage is not addressed. I think there is something wrong with this kernel. On my Home Assistant server some containers were failing to start and the errors pointed towards some resource/limits issue even for processes running as root. The errors were something like - fork failed, resource temporarily not available. I think update-initramfs ran into this issue producing the errors in the post. I don't have any logs since it has hard to do anything at this point, commands failing when trying to diagnose. I rolled back to 5.10 manually to get my server up and running. I think the maximum number of processes was being limited artificially low despite nothing being in /etc/security/limits* - I did see for not root users this limited to around 2k processes via ulimit -u - cant remember the exact number. If anyone is running this kernel you can check the limits for various processes - user and root alike by looking at /proc/<PID>/limits On my rolled back 5.10 legacy kernel this is 61790
November 16, 20241 yr I upgraded to 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx and now my m2 ssd is not recognized anymore and the system is unresponsive and unstable. Once I remove the ssd, I am able to use it again. I tried to revert to a previous kernel using armbian-config but that didn't work. How can I revert back to 6.1.43?
November 16, 20241 yr I upgraded to 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx and now my m2 ssd is not recognized anymore and the system is unresponsive and unstable. Once I remove the ssd, I am able to use it again. I tried to revert to a previous kernel using armbian-config but that didn't work. Here's how I reverted back to an older kernel: sudo apt install linux-dtb-vendor-rk35xx=24.5.2 linux-image-vendor-rk35xx=24.5.2 sudo reboot The system is stable again, including pci ssd.
November 16, 20241 yr Author 3 hours ago, q-bert said: The system is stable again, including pci ssd. Mine is stable with 24.8.2 (6.10.6-current-rockchip-rk3588) Edited November 16, 20241 yr by robnielsen
November 16, 20241 yr The other issue with the vendor kernels is that the DTB seems to contain every rockchip dtb known - hundreds of them not just rk35xx - the default 256MB boot partition fills up as there is no room to have two kernel/overlay versions
