Armbianmonitor:

I got a non-booting BPiM2+ after running `apt dist-upgrade`.

I started with a fresh installation using the `Armbian_20.05.2_Bananapim2plus_focal_current_5.4.43_desktop.img` image. After log in I get from dpkg:

ii  linux-image-current-sunxi               20.05.2                           armhf        Linux kernel, version 5.4.43-sunxi
ii  armbian-firmware                        20.05.2                           all          Linux firmware

Then I updated the system via

apt dist-upgrade

and now I have

ii  linux-image-current-sunxi               20.05.3                           armhf        Linux kernel, version 5.4.45-sunxi
ii  armbian-firmware                        20.05.3                           all          Linux firmware

installed. After reboot, uboot claims a corrupt ramdisk:

I tried it with several SD Cards as well as the internal eMMC and I got the same result in all cases.
