vontar x3, S905x3 does not boot after apt upgrade

Hello 

 

I have a vontar x3, S905x3 tv box and I have installed the latest Armbian 24.11.0-trunk.66 Noble Gnome version.

If I made an apt upgrade the box does not boot. If I freeze Armbian Kernel Update through armbian-config utility (freeze update of  armbian-firmware linux-dtb-current-meson64 linux-image-current-meson64
packages), I can make apt upgrade and the system boots and working fine.

 

Is the above behaviour normal or I am missing something?

 

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply.

 

-I running with kernel 6.6.47-current-meson64 (the one installed with "Armbian 24.11.0-trunk.66 Noble Gnome version").

-If I run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade (without freeze the packages armbian-firmware linux-dtb-current-meson64 linux-image-current-meson64 using armbian-config utility) the system can not boot

-I try both from SD card and eMMC and I faced the same behaviour

-I am using the attached h96max-x2-test-bus80-gpu-volt.dtb which is "compatible" with the hw of my box (everything is working, 1000Mb ethernet, WiFi, bluetooth, sound etc)

-About uboot.bin file, I am using u-boot-s905x3 following the relative instructions

h96max-x2-test-bus80-gpu-volt.dtb

So this dtb is not part of the image?

Where are you placing the custom dtb?  Do not put it in the dtb directory as that entire directory is removed and replaced on a kernel update.  Put it in /boot or a custom subdirectory and adjust the extlinux file accordingly.
