CubieTruck: Attempted to kill init after kernel update to 6.6.75?

[Crazyphil]

I've updated all Armbian packages on my Ubuntu 24.04 system running on the Cubietruck a few days ago, updating the release to Armbian 25.2.3 with kernel linux-image-current-sunxi (i.e. I'm using the current  flavor of the system). This got me the current kernel version 6.6.75.

 

Unfortunately, since that I couldn't get the system to boot anymore, because it immediately throws a kernel panic on boot. The HDMI output doesn't show anything, so I had to attach a serial console to see what's going on.

I've already followed the Recovery guide, extracting again all .deb packages and reinstalling u-boot on the SD card, and even compared the contents of /boot with the current (and only) available image for the CubieTruck. Unfortunately, this didn't help.

 

I've attached the serial console log to this post, does anyone have anymore insight on what's going on and what I couid try to get the system booting again?
