### Creating a bug report/issue
[✅] I have searched the existing open and closed issues
#### Required Information
- DietPi version | `G_DIETPI_VERSION_CORE=9 G_DIETPI_VERSION_SUB=6 G_DIETPI_VERSION_RC=1 G_GITBRANCH='master' G_GITOWNER= 'MichaIng'`
- Distro version | `bullseye`
- Kernel version | `Linux DietPi 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx #1 SMP Wed Jul 10 09:57:26 UTC 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux`
- Architecture | `arm64`
- SBC model | `ROCK 5B (aarch64)`
- Power supply used | Anker Nano II 65W Model A2663
- SD card used | SanDisk Extreme Plus 128GB
#### Additional Information (if applicable)
- Bug report ID | `bdd56af7-08a0-468a-a126-8285cd65749d`
#### Steps to reproduce
1. Run dietpi-update
#### Expected behaviour
- Update completes without issue, all is well, angels sing.
#### Actual behaviour
- I had my unit running headless over CAT5 - during the update process I believe I accepted updating kernel elements or something specific to the RK3588 architecture. After I was not able to SSH into the machine.
- I unplugged the machine from it’s usual location and plugged it into my workstation monitor so I could see the machine’s output. I enabled Wi-Fi over dietpi-config as I do not have hardwired internet at this location. I tried running the update again but it failed to complete.
- I then formatted my SD card (I know I should have made a bug report then silly me) and copied the latest dietpi Rock5B image to it and then placed back into the machine
- I mounted the NVME on the machine and used dietpi-backup to try and restore the backup I had on the NVME.
- The machine still appears to be having issues.
#### Extra details
- I believe I submitted a bug report (see bug report ID above) however shortly after I was no longer able to connect to network via Wi-Fi - let me know if bug report did not go through and I will attempt again.
- Thank you!

Better go for original software, Armbian.

What issues do you still have?
Can you share the error message which came with the failed update process?
