Latest kernel upgrade broke the odroid again, executing the command by @jbergler (with manually changed kernel version) fixed it again.

I upgraded the kernel today via apt-get update/upgrade and it seems kernel for armbian 23.08 is being pushed to users with 23.02 breaking a bunch of stuff. After upgrading the kernel ethernet stops working and requires the user to manually downgrade kernel, uboot (and dtb?). I am currently on "current" kernel (6.1.11-meson64) I'm thinking of downgrading to legacy (5.xx) via armbian-config, does anyone know if this is safe?

Hello everyone, Upgrading from distro isn't supported officially but I tried it anyways and thought I should share my findings. In short, it worked for me. Others have reported issues so maybe we can figure out what causes these issues. My N2+ is fairly vanilla, so I didn't heavily modify it. Running 5.10.x kernel since that is recommended for de N2+ Step 1. Fully upgrade your system on Focal sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Step 2. Shutdown you N2+ and make an image backup of your emmc using dd or Win32DiskImager in case something goes wrong Step 3. Boot up your N2+ again, disable all 3rd-party applications and PPA and change the release your sources list. sudo sed -i s/deb/#deb/ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list sudo sed -i s/focal/jammy/ /etc/apt/sources.list Step 4. Update sources sudo apt-get update Step 5. This is were the tricky part starts, upgrading packages. Apt will ask to automatically restart services, allow this. Apt will also ask to replace configuration files, personally I kept all my configurations after manually checking them. sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Step 6. Reboot the device And if everything works fine Step 7. Re-enable 3rd party applications and PPA and change the release sudo sed -i s/#deb/deb/ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list sudo sed -i s/focal/jammy/ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Step 8. Do a last reboot and done, you should be on Jammy. Remember manually upgrading like this is not officially supported by armbian!
