This kernel is not based on a kernel stable branch, so it may have more bugs (unrelated to the hardware). {{note|The kernel image built from ayufan-rock64/linux-mainline-kernel is too large to fit into the default memory layout defined in the ROCKPro64 u-boot. This means that, when unpacked, the kernel will overwrite the beginning of the initrd in memory, rendering the initrd unusable and causing the boot to fail. This can be fixed by setting the u-boot environment variable, <code>~~addr_ramdisk_r~~</code> to a larger value, either by interrupting u-boot, or by patching the ubootRockPro64 sources to change the default.}}
