@grixm you copied the image of the SD card after the initial setup? I think that results in the same machine-id(/etc/machine-id) and as such I guess it could get the same MAC address? I set the neplan MAC address in my netplan file. I think that is enough.

@DroZDI did you unpack the .xz file? xz -d? Can you dd/(or other image tool) and mount the SD card on your computer and see a proper boot partition?

playing around with armbian-config after switiching to vendor kernel - missing "toogle hardware configuration" Left is on (previous legacy vendor) kernel with "24.5.1 and right is legacy kernel with "24.2.1"" Just curious if anyone know why that is? Perhaps I should have taken other steps when switching to vendor kernel(I have rebooted and confirmed it is running vendor kernel prior to screenshot)

@martivo are you using beta or stable?

@Markus Braun edit: I have an orange pi 5 plus! I have mine booting without any SD card. I sadly don't recall whatever guide I followed but I am pretty sure I had to toogle nvme booting somwhere in armbian-config or some command that updated the bootloader on the opi5+ This is my /boot/armbianEnv.txt verbosity=1 bootlogo=true overlay_prefix=rockchip-rk3588 fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588-orangepi-5-plus.dtb rootdev=UUID=4578f871-5c8a-406a-87bd-be8562b1f8bf rootfstype=ext4 usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u my /etc/fstab look like this UID=4578f871-5c8a-406a-87bd-be8562b1f8bf / ext4 defaults,noatime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=dce8fefd-ace9-468e-8695-55071f59094f /boot ext4 defaults,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 2 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid 0 0 [... nfs and other irrelevant junk] Did you change your fstab before running dd so it reflects the UUID of the the nvmes /boot disk? or change it to /dev/nvme... blabla ? I will be getting a new opi5+ in a week or two with an nvme so I will need to revisit these steps anyway. Let me know if I can check something on my side.

@Gullik I would assume we can get some ideas on progress with rk3588 from this link(even if it isn't specific for opi5/opi5+): https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md It seems HDMI audio is not even being worked on but it might also come 'natual' with the GPU stuff/other hdmi stuff(I dont know) Maybe it works with the libmali stuff I don't know. But I find it pretty wonky as it is with the legacy kernel that is supposed to work with it.
