Problems with 4.16.8 kernel headers & scripts

[Gymnae]

I just ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, sure enough, a new kernel was downloaded.

Due to a non-standard wifi chip, I always run KMS before rebooting, giving the new kernel version as an argument. (The automatic install on reboot didn't work so well in the past) It seems now that something is not right with the new kernel headers. I have not rebooted yet, out of fear the system might be unstable then.

Yes, it looks so. I already reverted back to 4.14.y few weeks ago https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/sources/cubox.conf#L20 and you can get it from beta repository or DIY.

Thanks for your quick reply. I installed armbian-config but it only offers me to switch to dev or default - it states I'm already at next? But your link states that 14.14 should be next. What could I do?

Current version: Armbian 5.38 stable

You need to switch to the nightly repository and update the actual kernel. Kernal can be a default, dev or next branch.

Thank you, that helped. The systems has other problems, though
