Man that reminds me that I bought a Chinese motherboard to build my homelab and installed Debian. Great! One kernel upgrade later and my network card stopped working. Tried a lot of things but to preserve my mental health and to enjoy my jellyfin again, I just returned to the older kernel and voilá, everything worked again…so no updates for now …or ever
Sounds like a rockchip board like orangepi haha. It’s funny because they actually have some killer hardware, but documentation on kernel drivers and DTB boot chain is sketchy at best.
Have you ever compiled your own kernel? Could be the upgraded version doesn’t enable a module your motherboard needed or something. A fairly simple test would be to compile thw kernel with everything enabled as a module and use that
I did it once but I remember not being able to judge if I needed all the modules or what to flag on each line I saw. I tried to load the module this time after the upgrade but without success. Maybe I’ll try someday if I get the time…
Same happened with me and a USB video capture card I bought specifically for Debian Linux compatibility. One kernel upgrade later… doesn’t work. Try again on old kernel? Works. I’ll probably try in a few months, but I can’t be bothered now.

Same here…O have around 20 containers running on my potato server and I really enjoy using them…not enough time to debug this thing.
