If the SD card is inserted after the image has been DD’d to NVME the boot gets confused because there are now 2 disks with the same UUIDs, as pointed to by extlinux.conf

The DD utility is used only for Altlinux (as a temporary solution), Armbian uses the standard installation procedure on NVME (using armbian-config), which correctly generate the UUID and configure the system to run and there are no conflicts. And why use two identical systems with SD and NVMe ?
