If not I will try a serial connection via USB.
That would be good. Cubox-i has standard microUSB connector for serial console, so its easy. That would give some insights on what is happening. -
Philosophy behind installations via armbian-config is that install is simple as possible, thus options are limited and hard-coded. Main folder for SW data is /armbian and there you mount additional space, if needed. If this way is not acceptable, you need to go manual way. Installing Redis, PostgreSQL and Immich, then link then together. It will be some work and there will be some troubles.

does not boot or post through HDMI.
HDMI output might be broken on this kernel - mainline support is still fragile, perhaps for this board there is no device tree yet and it fails early. -

is that screen shot you've pastebinned from a connection to the usb TTY?
Connected via SSH. DHCP client is automatically getting IP, so you should be able to find the device on network after few minutes ... in case HDMI output is really broken. I can't test that as device is stashed to some rack. -

v25.5.1 image (Debian Bookworm minimal) runs on my Cubox i4, but HDMI out is untested ... images were released, only because I manage to spent some time testing and as I found out that build actually works.

Today armbian-config doesn't show other kernels, it's impossible to switch.
Fresh Orangepi 5 image, this one:
https://netcup-01.armbian.com/incoming/efectn/orangepi5/archive/Armbian_25.8.1_Orangepi5_noble_vendor_6.1.115_gnome_desktop.img.xz
Your setup could be broken to some degree, but hard to tell what is missing.

No, nothing happened. When I tellgnome-extensions list
it return empty. On my x86 desktop running Noble Gnome.

Maybe we could do: download it to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ and then run gnome-extensions enable no-overview@fthx.
Yes, that's the idea I guess. I played around a bit, but could not enable it with the script ... yet. -

Agree, that's not normal.

Nothing obvious, no quick solutions based from what is seen from the logs. -
Try with one additional parameter:

Well, I can't tell why USB imager doesn't work nicely. I use it ... sometimes media is not recognized and restarting it usually helps and that is the only problem I experienced with it. For other issues check https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/usbimager/-/issues
There is some note that might be relevant:
Quotehttps://bztsrc.gitlab.io/usbimager/
NOTE: forever returning problem: the GTK version works, but the X11 version only shows boxes (or nothing) instead of text. This isn't an USBImager issue, rather X11 fontconfig problem.
Solutions:
Install your distro's xfonts-unifont package to fix (FYI, any other X11 font containing UNICODE glyphs would do).
If there were no such package in your distro, then download unifont-*.pcf.gz from here, copy it under /usr/share/fonts/misc (or into any other directory listed by fc-list) and execute the fc-cache -vf command to update the font cache. After this USBImager should be able to find and use this font on its own.
Download one of the uf versions of USBImager. These are bigger binaries because they include Unifont, but in return they don't need X11 fontconfig (nor any X11 font) at all.
Another alternative tools is RPi Imager.1 hour ago, justanothernoob said:You mention that BalenaEtcher can't handle large images
Issues are known and those were my personal experiences while trying to understand why it doesn't work anymore. This was about a year ago, bug was filed at Balena and it seems they didn't fix it yet. Since nothing happened for months, we simply start recommending other tools. Which might not be perfect either - according to troubles you are experiencing.1 hour ago, justanothernoob said:Admittedly, 20 years ago I probably wouldn't have been so patient
In custom hardware world patience is a requirement - in all directions. Maintainers / developers with users, users with maintainers / developers, maintainers / developers with hardware, users with hardware, maintainers / developers with software, users with software ... -

but Balena Etcher would fail at the end of the validation process.
Etcher is broken on big images. It is out of our power to fix that. Use USB imager or something else. -
Updates should now be ok, aren't they?

Weird. Check logs and verify matching - mac - if not changing random - is usually safest way. I haven't played under network manger lately ... perhaps there lies the problem or network devices gets up with a delay. I will try to recreate during week.

I do need a stable OS
OS is stable, errors you are experiencing are likely related to faulty HW component as @eselarm already exposed. And we would most likely notice such anomaly before it gets to you. There are thousands of users and this is the only report of this kind ...

Boards are going to the market at high rate, while users support remains more or less the same in past 10 years
https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules/
Community builds and their upgrades are untested as size of Armbian can only cope with a small selection of boards we call as "standard support", where we have volunteers behind. Community builds are on Debian / Arch images level, but packed with more features.
https://github.com/armbian/community?tab=readme-ov-file#purpose-of-this-repositoryFor those - Armbian provides build and hosting infrastructure, place to meet - this forum - while everything else is anyone's problem.

renaming the eth1 interface to ethLAN, keeping lan1 as-is.
Did you try renaming by using udev rule?
Example:
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/76-rename-wifi-by-mac.rulesSUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="b8:2d:28:5a:55:92", NAME="wlxb82d285a5592"
and then proceed with whatever. Both systemd-networkd and network manager should work.

Hi. Did you add / enable required overlays ?

It looks like kernel support is enabled. -

on other operating systems as well
51 minutes ago, The Tall Man said:Before It Gets To Armbian
Armbian is Debian or Ubuntu with focus into hardware support.
https://docs.armbian.com/#what-is-armbian
Many operating systems in this segment are derived or use Armbian kernel (development & support) maintained by our team and surrounding community. I do agree with your findings, but this is expected in this world. Achieving and keeping full functionality on custom hardware is hard without substantiation investments or big enough crowd of volunteers / random people that knows special stuff. Both is limited.51 minutes ago, The Tall Man said:I would venture an educated guess that the audio is 1/128 or 1/256 the correct levels
ALSA is a complex part of engineering that I only understand to some small degree. For most people, including me - is hard to comment. I hope your findings are valuable for someone that knows where to look.51 minutes ago, The Tall Man said:then someone familiar with the source code, who knows where this is - it would be a real simple fix
Isn't always like this?
Sadly, in most cases, problems are solved by investing time for research - code / structure complexity is often extreme, also for people that live source code.
Welcome to Armbian forum!

Do you perhaps know how we could integrate this into Armbian? I don't know much about Gnome internals - came this far:

I have installed AdGuard

on a clean Armbian bookworm on some Rockchip device running vendor kernel. Boot logs: https://paste.armbian.com/hibaporove.yaml
Reboot and AdGuard normally works after: https://paste.armbian.com/enomawupip.yaml
It could be some SD card issue. Try - different one.

If you didn't use Armbian install method, then check system logs to see what is failing ... Armbian is Debian or Ubuntu from userspace perspective, so it could be some AdGuard install issue.

Our release will also be around Noble / Trixie + minimal image with Bookworm. For those that wants to stay on a safe side

How does one switch kernels if they can't see what they're doing?

Quite possible, actually expected as there is no support for current kernel:
