It seems trying to update/upgrade got it into a partially updated state. It’s giving a /run/systemd is out of space error currently and says it cannot use/build with libc6 or something. Away from the PC and Pinecube at the moment. I will reflash my other SD card, set the memory values, and then copy all the outputs with verbosity 8 and early console enabled.

Changing release back to Armbian_community_24.11.0-trunk.273 (just happened to have it from last time I tested a while back) seems to have posted into the kernel. I'll try an update && upgrade but I'm sure it will break again like before. Here's the armbianmonitor -u if it helps in any way: https://paste.armbian.com/zutopexulu Here's the u-boot from that version if it helps. I did modify the armbianenv values with: verbosity=8 earlycon=on fdt_addr_r=0x41000000 kernel_addr_r=0x41080000 ramdisk_addr_r=0x42080000 U-Boot SPL 2024.01-armbian-2024.01-S866c-Pb2fe-H0429-Vc98b-Bda0a-R448a (Oct 10 2024 - 02:38:10 +0000) DRAM: 128 MiB Trying to boot from MMC1 ns16550_serial serial@1c28800: pinctrl_select_state_full: uclass_get_device_by_phandle_id: err=-19 U-Boot 2024.01-armbian-2024.01-S866c-Pb2fe-H0429-Vc98b-Bda0a-R448a (Oct 10 2024 - 02:38:10 +0000) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner V3s (SUN8I 1681) Model: PineCube IP Camera DRAM: 128 MiB Core: 47 devices, 20 uclasses, devicetree: separate WDT: Not starting watchdog@1c20ca0 MMC: mmc@1c0f000: 0, mmc@1c10000: 1 Loading Environment from FAT...

Good to hear that something was found at least! Should the last build already have it incorporated because I still needed to modify the fdt/kernel/ramdisk variables in the armbianenv in order to get the process started? But it looks like turning it to verbosity=8 and earlycon=on didn't provide any additional details sadly.

So I tired the latest releases as well and the PineCube just stays stuck on "Starting kernel ..." Changing the verbosity in the armbianEnv.txt still has no effect so not sure where to go from here sadly.

So I decided to modify the armbianEnv.txt with the values you provided and it has moved to "Starting kernel..." It is taking quite a while to boot. The older version seemed to take quite a while as well but this seems to be hanging possibly. I tried changing the armbianEnv.txt verbosity to 7 but it is still stuck on Starting kernel...

Yes. I noticed in past attempts when using saveenv it says it cannot write or something. I have not modified any of the files as I said earlier. This is all from a fresh install so it is whatever is generated that is currently located on the PineCube page. Also when I took an older image and updated the FDT image overlap error began as well.

Looks like 23.5.1 with U-Boot 2022.7 works as well (23.5.1 Bookworm 6.1.30). Spoke too soon. It never loaded the kernel.

Sorry to bring this back up but I'm having exact same issue on latest releases. I'm able to boot an older 21.05.1 release for the PineCube but the 25.5.0-trunk.87 and 25.5.0-trunk.444 have the same issue. Upgrading the 21.05.1 via apt update && apt upgrade broke it once again with the same overlap issue. ## Loading init Ramdisk from Legacy Image at 41b00000 ...
