Does this update touch the UBoot?

Nope. There should be no uboot update in this update. Kernel got updated though.

It boots!

It seems that one of the linux packages (linux or linux-firmware) that I blocked probably kills MVNe on the Pinebook Pro.

From updated and working system after IgnorePkg list:

$ uname -a Linux pinebook 5.12.11-1-MANJARO-ARM #1 SMP Wed Jun 16 10:48:53 UTC 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Testers needed on arm-testing branch

We are in need of testers for our arm-testing and arm-unstable branches.

Well there’s no need for me to change to another branch to help. For now, I’d like to help solve this stable branch problem!

How should I proceed? Perhaps the next step would be to install and boot manjaro stable on an SD card, update to 2021-07-06 and see if the update breaks NVMe even when it’s not the boot drive. If NVMe breaks, hopefully I’d still boot and have debug resources at my disposal.

Should I file a bug report now? Where?
