Orange PI 5 PRO, option to upgrade kernel in armbian-config is gone.

[Stanislav Berghici]

Yesterday, Oct 20th, I installed armbian version "Minimal/IOT images with Armbian Linux v6.1" to the Orange PI 5 PRO and updated kernel using armbian-config to kernel 6.18 RC1(2 options were available 6.12 and 6.18 R1, note 6.12 did not work).

Armbian works fine including vulkan support(I tested with swith emulator) with this kernel(6.18 rc1), but today option to update to any kernel is not available anymore. I'm getting warning "No other kernels available!"

System is pretty stable with this version.

This kernel is available only when you change repository to beta.armbian.com , which provides daily builds. EDGE kernels comes as is - glad to hear it works, but beware it might also break down as kernel is changing rapidly.
