After a recent kernel upgrade on a nanopi-r5s, the NVME device files /dev/nvme0* are no longer present. The relevant part of /var/log/syslog shows: 2025-07-05T20:55:35.716376+02:00 nanopi-r5s kernel: [ 0.000000] Linux version 6.12.35-current-rockchip64 (build@armbian) (aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Ubuntu 13.2.0-23ubuntu4) 13.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.42) #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 27 10:11:46 UTC 2025 ... 2025-07-05T20:55:35.719736+02:00 nanopi-r5s kernel: [ 4.491538] nvme nvme0: pci function 0002:01:00.0 2025-07-05T20:55:35.719739+02:00 nanopi-r5s kernel: [ 4.491584] nvme 0002:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) There is a single NVME drive installed and the output of a previous kernel where /dev/nvme0* was present is as follows. 2025-07-05T02:17:37.940170+02:00 nanopi-r5s kernel: [ 0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0000000000 [0x412fd050] 2025-07-05T02:17:37.954269+02:00 nanopi-r5s kernel: [ 0.000000] Linux version 6.12.35-current-rockchip64 (build@armbian) (aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Ubuntu 13.3.0-6ubuntu2~24.04) 13.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.42) #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 27 10:11:46 UTC 2025 ... 2025-07-05T02:17:37.969044+02:00 nanopi-r5s kernel: [ 4.406406] nvme nvme0: pci function 0002:01:00.0 2025-07-05T02:17:37.969049+02:00 nanopi-r5s kernel: [ 4.406455] nvme 0002:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) 2025-07-05T02:17:37.969053+02:00 nanopi-r5s kernel: [ 4.540002] nvme nvme0: D3 entry latency set to 10 seconds 2025-07-05T02:17:37.969074+02:00 nanopi-r5s kernel: [ 4.628689] nvme nvme0: allocated 64 MiB host memory buffer. 2025-07-05T02:17:37.969080+02:00 nanopi-r5s kernel: [ 4.737972] nvme nvme0: 4/0/0 default/read/poll queues The contents of /etc/armbian-image-release currently are as follows: # PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BOARD=nanopi-r5s BOARD_NAME="NanoPi R5S" BOARDFAMILY=rockchip64 BUILD_REPOSITORY_URL=https://github.com/armbian/build BUILD_REPOSITORY_COMMIT=f149a11b4 LINUXFAMILY=rockchip64 ARCH=arm64 BOOT_SOC=rk3568 IMAGE_TYPE=nightly BOARD_TYPE=csc INITRD_ARCH=arm64 KERNEL_IMAGE_TYPE=Image KERNEL_TARGET=current,edge KERNEL_TEST_TARGET=current FORCE_BOOTSCRIPT_UPDATE= FORCE_UBOOT_UPDATE= OVERLAY_DIR="/boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay" VENDOR="Armbian_community" VENDORCOLOR="247;16;0" VENDORDOCS="https://docs.armbian.com" VENDORURL="https://github.com/armbian/build" VENDORSUPPORT="https://community.armbian.com/" VENDORBUGS="https://github.com/armbian/community/issues" BOOTSCRIPT_FORCE_UPDATE="no" BOOTSCRIPT_DST="boot.cmd" VERSION=25.8.0-trunk.245 REVISION=25.8.0-trunk.245 IMAGE_UUID=bef97f49-0290-4f2c-9d7a-0229540b307a INSTALLED=true The contents of /etc/armbian-release currently are as follows: # PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BOARD=nanopi-r5s BOARD_NAME="NanoPi R5S" BOARDFAMILY=rockchip64 BUILD_REPOSITORY_URL=https://github.com/armbian/build BUILD_REPOSITORY_COMMIT=034e9253c LINUXFAMILY=rockchip64 ARCH=arm64 BOOT_SOC=rk3568 IMAGE_TYPE=nightly BOARD_TYPE=csc INITRD_ARCH=arm64 KERNEL_IMAGE_TYPE=Image KERNEL_TARGET=current,edge KERNEL_TEST_TARGET=current FORCE_BOOTSCRIPT_UPDATE= FORCE_UBOOT_UPDATE= OVERLAY_DIR="/boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay" VENDOR="Armbian" VENDORCOLOR="247;16;0" VENDORDOCS="https://docs.armbian.com" VENDORURL="https://www.armbian.com/" VENDORSUPPORT="https://forum.armbian.com" VENDORBUGS="https://www.armbian.com/bugs" BOOTSCRIPT_FORCE_UPDATE="no" BOOTSCRIPT_DST="boot.cmd" VERSION=25.8.0-trunk.319 REVISION=25.8.0-trunk.319 BRANCH=6.1.0 Unfortunately, I don't have a version of the file when the NVME device files were still present. If I remember correctly, the working version was 25.8.0-trunk.313 https://github.com/armbian/os/tags Strangely, the current version 25.8.0-trunk.319 shows "(Ubuntu 13.2.0-23ubuntu4) 13.2.0" in the kernel boot output whereas the previous version (probably 25.8.0-trunk.313) shows "(Ubuntu 13.3.0-6ubuntu2~24.04) 13.3.0", i.e., a later version. Is there a way to try version 25.8.0-trunk.313 again or figure out what might be the problem with the current version?

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the maintainers for their contributions. This project has helped me a lot, and it runs smoothly on my device. It seems that the status of the nanopi-r5s has been in the staging phase for a long time. I am wondering if there is an opportunity for it to be promoted to the standard support phase. Additionally, I would greatly appreciate having a compiled version of Ubuntu Server. Is there anyone willing to help with this? Thank you very much.

Just wondering when an image will be available for the R5S - I have one here sitting waiting for it 🙂

I installed Armbian on my R5s Armbian 23.8 Bookworm Kernel 6.5, Size: 479Mb, Release date: Sep 18, 2023 On this version, I find the classical problem : a module I want to build does not build. Reason ? apt says : Coundn’t find any package by glob ‘linux-headers-6.5.3-edge-odroid’ And make creates an error because “build” directory is not found. I can find the linux-headers-6.5.3 : https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/linux-6.5.3.tar.gz But where can I find the odroid version ?
