Probably related to NVME and those two commits:

https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/commit/16a7adc42e350ee3ff96298f295ae01f52f103bb

https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/commit/a095b986015598f2aa1ef1e424f766a8bb65f4a3

 

This fixes SATA bridge on Rock 5 ITX but possibly breaks NVME on Orange 5. As we will not maintain another special kernel for a single device, Orangepi 5, we have implemented a mechanism to prevent upgrades beyond 24.8.1 https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/boards/orangepi5.conf#L17

which might not be working properly - It should block upgrades to this kernel ...
