Thanks! It would be helpful if armbian-install somehow checked that before offering the btrfs option. (This is just an interim solution until I figure out what went wrong with a recent Rock 5B upgrade that keeps it from booting and took many of my home services offline. So I will live with ext4 for now, but I thought I should report the problem.)

Check out the learning experience in this thread: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/27457-connecting-banana-pi-m2-zero-with-ili9341-display-over-spi-on-latest-armbian-image/#comment-162359 In an ssh session, do this: $ tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log And see what happens when the X11 server crashes

Ok, I got the serial output working. Oddly everything worked and the unit booted. 😕 So I go and put the Radxa Penta SATA HAT and boom back to the same issue. The HAT appears to be causing an issue. Activity light is on but in a continuous double blink. The NIC is also showing activity but I can not access or ping. Switch shows a link but no data. Sucks because of the Penta HAT, I am not able to connect the serial to USB cable. The HAT is covering the entire GPIO. https://radxa.com/products/accessories/penta-sata-hat Thought to myself. Ok, let's revert back to an older release (Bookworm). It has the same issue. It's not until I get to Bullseye that it works. Has me thinking. Am I that few who purchased the Rock Pi 4C non plus with their Penta SATA HAT?
