ArchLinuxARM-odroid-xu3-latest unable to boot fresh install

[renegat]

Hello;

As it seems there are now regular updates again for armv7 devices I finally wanted to switch back to alarm from dietpi.

I've downloaded ArchLinuxARM-odroid-xu3-latest.tar.gz and followed the install instructions exactly for several times using several different micro-SD cards which are known to work with HC1 for a long time.

But every attemp to boot fails! Just the red light comes up - but no blue led. The blue led just flickers short and faint - than nothing.

I even tried different PSUs with no avail. I tried XU4, HC1 and MC1 - no one boots with the image provided!

The faulty unbootable image "ArchLinuxARM-odroid-xu3-latest.tar.gz" from 19-Jan-2026 with "NULL pointer dereference" is still provided.
Does anybody care abou it?!

I run the linux-armv7 kernel on my Odroid HC1. I don't know if there's an image available with that kernel.
