Failed to load '/boot/dtb/overlay/-fixup.scr'

Hello community

 

Here are the versions I’m using:

Kernel:
5.15.48-sunxi

OS:
Linux nanopineo 5.15.48-sunxi #22.05.3 SMP Wed Feb 19 15:56:03 UTC 2025 armv7l GNU/Linux

I’m having a problem.
Sometimes, during boot, I see the following log:

After this message, the system halts.

The only way to fix it is to flash the image again or to boot from an SD card and mount the EMMC which fixes the file system. 

 

I noticed that the device doesn’t use the overlay_prefix variable from /boot/armbianEnv.txt.
It shows this message:

Failed to load '/boot/dtb/overlay/-fixup.scr'

I tried adding the overlay_prefix variable manually in the boot.cmd file, but it didn’t help.

 

Previously, I changed:

Quote

setenv devnum "0"

to

Quote

setenv devnum "1"

Could that be the cause?

 

I changed it back to default

Quote

setenv devnum "0"

but the problem still happens.

 

Do you have any ideas what could be wrong?
