Hello/
Yes, I have also stumbled on this.
It took me a night to figure out and fix what had happened.
My rock64 was set to auto-reboot on unattended upgrades, and after auto upgrade to 6.12.9 on 2025-01-16 it refused to boot (I found 6.12.9 in /boot dir).
After connecting UART I got the same error:

Thanks to your message and recovery instructions, I managed to repeat it and got a working board! 👍
But now I used armbian-config and selected "SY203 - Disable Armbian kernel upgrades"
Seems like it's working
# apt-mark showhold

Thank you very much! 🙏
