I tried copying dtb and initrd for 6.6.75 but it wouldn't boot. I managed to mount the system using chroot on x64 machine using binfmt-support and qemu-user-static, downgraded kernel using what I had available in apt-cache 5.15.93-sunxi64 #23.02.2 i also had to downgrade dtb package as suggested here No FDT memory address configured. Please configure ERROR: Did not find a cmdline Flattened Device Tree all working

I just updated my system and it failed to boot, see here: I assume I have the same cause as you guys? What can I do to recover my install and get it booting?

I am running a old buster image and ran apt-get upgrade, now it won't boot.
