Radioking TX18s: EdgeTx does not boot to UI if internal MPM is enabled. #802

Bug description:

Once the internal multiprotocol module is enabled for the active model, EdgeTx will not boot up to the UI. A black screen with the Enter symbol is displayed. If a switch or the throttle is not in the home position, the "Warning Screen" is the last display. Restart is only possible after removing the battery.

In operation I can switch to the internal multiprotocol module, bind and use it normally.
Booting with a model without activated internal multiprotocol module works normally.
Booting with a model with activated external multiprotocol module works normally.
The latest firmware (that I own) that does not have the problem is 2.5.0 (8becbfcb) dated 2021-08-25.

General information:

EdgeTX version 2.5.0 RC1, 2.6.0 nightlies
Hardware: Radioking TX18s (flashed with Jumper T18 firmware)
internal Multiprotocol-Module on firmware 1.3.3.0 AETR (1.3.2.86 AETR the same)

Just check again https://downloads.multi-module.org/

This is because I asked them to update it (as well as add the CC2500 entry for the RK TX18S Lite)... hence why I wanted clarification.

As I can see that there are two different boards - what I am trying to work out is does the TX18S (not the T18) board run the stm-serial firmware, or does it need to stm-5in1 variant, (meaning it must identify at runtime that the SX1276 is missing and thus declare any requests to use the protocols it services as invalid if selected). As if that is the case, I need to open a new request to have the RK TX18S switched back to stm-5in1.

Hello. I have a Radioking remote. I have installed the Edgetx firmware. I had some problems and decided to install opentx. However, I flashed the taranis x9d firmware with error while installing the firmware. My remote control is not working now. how do i fix this situation. The remote won't turn on at all. smt32 bootloader is seen by computer only when i connect usb.
