What happened?

I used image https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/download/26.2.0-trunk.606/Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.606_Ayn-odin2_noble_current_6.18.19_gnome_desktop.img.xz and I found the device cannot boot into desktop. It stuck in the first boot wizard after message "Please use this account for your daily work from now on."

How to reproduce?

Download image from https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/download/26.2.0-trunk.606/Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.606_Ayn-odin2_noble_current_6.18.19_gnome_desktop.img.xz

Flash it to TF card using Armbian Imager

Insert the TF card to Odin2 device and power on

Wait for it to boot to desktop

Observation:
It stuck in the first boot wizard after message "Please use this account for your daily work from now on."

I tried to build a image from the current main branch (kernel: 6.18.20) and I found the problem is the same. I changed KERNELBRANCH to "tag:v6.18.18" from "branch:linux-6.18.y" and rebuild. It can boot to desktop as expected. It seems some change in the 6.18.19 kernel causes the problem

Some sort of logs would be great, otherwise very hard to track down

Hi, Werner, thanks for replying. The problem is, when this happened, I cannot get wire or wireless connection. Neither can I login to the system using another pty. Odin2 is a gaming device thus there's no UART available. I tried to pass "console=tty0" to the kernel but I don't see any output on screen when it happened. Any suggestion to get more information? Thanks!

Now this issue seems to be fixed. I tried to build 6.18.25 kernel and it can complete boot wizard as expected.
