RockPi-S fails to reboot or halt/shutdown - kernel panic v1.3

[bonedaddy4538]

On a fresh install from the website on kernel 6.1 bookworm/Jammy when rebooting the board a kernel panic occurs and the device will not boot unless power cycled. This was not the case even a few months ago on a 6.6 edge kernel. I also tried the current edge 6.7 kernel and the board wouldn't boot at all not that I expected it to. The board says 3308B on the chip(samsung memory) and ive also tried two different micro sd.

 

Anyone else having this issue?

 

Serial output is below of the relevant failure

Thanks for anyone willing to look.

 

Update: Reboot works fine on rockpi-s ordered more recently late 2023 with non-samsung ram module. I wonder if that is a reason. I will try the last 5.15 firmware created for this board and see if that works.

After looking at some radxa forums there are certain batches of this v1.3 board with issues. You can tell right away by it not booting or from official firmware having this serial output only.
