Linux 6.1.63-current-rockchip64

Just chiming in here to say that after updating Armbian via OMV6 backend some time after my last post in Sep last year, my unit has remained stable for over 3 months. No idea why. Perhaps a magic fairy helped us. Happy days!

Yeah, totally hosed my whole setup. Can't ssh in anymore, and the serial output seems to have stopped working so it's a pretty pink paperweight till further notice

Thanks for adding that info. As for updates, I was actually thinking I was in the clear. The unit had stayed up without a hitch since my last post over a month ago and seemed impervious to putting it through it's paces. That was with 5.15.93-rockchip64 and 400-14000 ondemand governor. Sorry to say though I ran the auto update in the OMV6 backend that contained some Helios64 specific updates. At the time I thought great, someone, somewhere has made some tweaks! But now my unit is completely hosed. I can't even boot it to a state where I can ssh in and see what's up. TBH, I don't really understand where these updates came from. Are these coming from the community? Or are the being autogenerated by the Armbian build process, perhaps with old and outdated code that contains issues because the Helios code is not maintained? If so, anyone got tips on rolling back the kernel / updates? TBH I'm not even sure if the Helios64 specific updates were to do with the kernel or something else.

If so how'd ya do it!?!? My personal experience had been a rock solid device on the original official Debian Armbian image (Linux Kernel: 5.10), and OMV5. It never went down unless I manually rebooted, and I never needed any CPU governor changes, voltage changes or otherwise to keep it stable. Reading so much stuff about OMV5 being end of life made me pull the trigger on upgrade to OMV6 along with the kernel upgrade that OMV did automatically, at the time unaware of the state of Kobol and Armbian support. Now I get about 1-2 days on average before it KPs and I have to hit the reset button. Tried the CPU underclocking, performance setting, VDD boost and various combinations but to no avail. So just reaching out to any other users here, is anyone still rocking a stable unit in 2023? Did you have to revert to Buster / OMV5? Are there any other tweaks to try that I've missed other than CPU clock/profile/vdd tweak? Is there any way to get any information on why it might be happening? Or is the only way to have a hardware serial console open 24/7 via a usb cable?
