yup, just to report back, it works with the latest images. thanks for the quick fix 👍

I didn't have time to grab a linux laptop, so here is a listing of the contents of the boot folder.

After the broken upgrade, i can still mount the sd card on a different machine, no errors reported. If it helps, there is the `apt upgrade` output that breaks it.

@belegdol true. I should have said, the boot.src thing, you don't see the probing of the armbianEnv etc. Here is a capture of freshly flashed 24.11 U-Boot 2017.05-armbian-2017.05-S42ac-P1bb2-H0673-V2e86-Bda0a-R448a (Nov 21 2024 - 02:52:38 +0000) for ODROID-XU4 CPU: Exynos5422 @ 800 MHz Model: Odroid XU4 based on EXYNOS5422 Board: Odroid XU4 based on EXYNOS5422 Type: unknown DRAM: 2 GiB MMC: EXYNOS DWMMC: 0, EXYNOS DWMMC: 1 MMC Device 0 ( SD ): 14.8 GiB Card did not respond to voltage select! mmc_init: -95, time 12 *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Net: No ethernet found.

After an `apt upgrade` from 24.11 to the kernel doesn't boot anymore. I've flashed 25.2.1 and same error (both with minimal as with server). I flashed 24.11 and it booted. Then I did `apt update` and `apt upgrade` and after reboot it got into the same state. I connected uart to my odroid hc2 to capture some usefull debug logs: U-Boot 2017.05-armbian-2017.05-S42ac-P1bb2-H0673-V2e86-Bda0a-R448a (Nov 21 2024 - 02:52:38 +0000) for ODROID-XU4 CPU: Exynos5422 @ 800 MHz Model: Odroid XU4 based on EXYNOS5422 Board: Odroid XU4 based on EXYNOS5422 Type: unknown DRAM: 2 GiB MMC: EXYNOS DWMMC: 0, EXYNOS DWMMC: 1 MMC Device 0 ( SD ): 14.8 GiB Card did not respond to voltage select! mmc_init: -95, time 12 *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Net: No ethernet found.
