Orange PI 5 Armbian 25.8.2 Ubuntu Server 24.04/6.12 does not boot (kernel panic)

[XFer012]

Hello,

my Orange Pi 5 works well with the stock OS (1.22, Ubuntu Jammy, BSP kernel 6.1.99), using the SD as a boot device.

 

It also works ok with Armbian Minimal-IoT / Debian 13 / 6.1:

 

 v25.8.2 for Orange Pi 5 running Armbian Linux 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx

 

But I prefer Ubuntu and wanted to try 6.12, so I downloaded 25.8.2 / Ubuntu Server / 6.12.

 

Wrote to SD, hooked up the debug UART and powered on.

The bootloader is fine, the kernel starts, but at a certain point it panics:

Power brick is a solid 5V/4A and as I said works OK with the stock OS (7zip benchmark and all) and Armbian Minimal

 

Any suggestion?

 

Thanks a lot
