Alright - found the culprit: SD card. Had to take another two cards. Oh boy ...

L.S., I made a download of 'Armbian_5.25_Bananapi_Debian_jessie_next_4.9.7.img' Unfortunately the boot process stops at LIRC at the 1st (!) boot: [ OK ] Started LSB: Raise network interfaces.. Starting ifup for eth0... [ OK ] Started ifup for eth0. [ OK ] Reached target Network. [ OK ] Reached target Network is Online. [ OK ] Reached target System Initialization.

Two thoughts: 1) Create a normal user (instead of user root) to run your docker container. Don't forget to add the newly created user to group 'docker' 2) Use the correct container images (armhf!), search a suitable image with command: user@bananapi:~$ docker search armhf NAME DESCRIPTION STARS OFFICIAL AUTOMATED armv7/armhf-ubuntu 'official' Ubuntu Docker images for the AR... 22 armv7/armhf-archlinux archlinux arm Docker image for the ARMv7(a... 11 container4armhf/armhf-alpine Automatically built base images of Alpine ... 10 [OK] ioft/armhf-ubuntu [ABR] Ubuntu Docker images for the ARMv7(a... 10 [OK] mazzolino/armhf-ubuntu Ubuntu-Core images for armhf (ARMv7) devices 6 armv7/armhf-ubuntu_core Ubuntu Core Docker images for the ARMv7(ar... 5 armhf/ubuntu Ubuntu is a Debian-based Linux operating s... 2 moul/armhf-busybox 2 [OK] ...

Seems, you've got it. On RasPi2 the overlay FS is 'self detected' and added as a parameter. No glue why it's not on the BPi and CT. Unfortunately you have to do the small change whenever you update Docker. I already tried to manipulate the docker config under /etc To persist. So far w/o success. When there's time ...

Hi, you may use the more recent one you already found at http://blog.hypriot.com/downloads/ Used source: http://www.lemaker.org/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4252&extra=page%3D1

Confirmed. After installing a clean ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS in a VM (left locale on en_US except keyboard) I was able to build the image w/o any modifications. The difference between the other 14.04 LTS images I have relies on the additional PPAs. Some of them are development or at least experimental. Typical case of PEBKAC, I would say. Sorry for the noise and thanks for the 'second' branch. Good luck, ~September~

Hi Igor, problem(s) solved! My BPi seems to be sensitive (timewise during boot, I guess). A friend's BPi didn't show this issue and was booting/rebooting all times with and without power cycling. Followed your advice: Reinstalled a vanilla 14.04.03 in a VM, updated suggested patches and left locale on en_US except keyboard. With this configuration my BPi "survives" powercycling too ... I owe your at least a beer. Thanks for your patience and hints. Cheers, ~September~ PS: Please add a 'solved' to the topic. Can't access the headline. Thanks.

Not sure if I get you correctly ... BPi is A20 but the refered patch is A10. I presume the hardware wiring/connection is the same for A20 and A10? Another point: # copy orange pi DTS if [ "$(cat arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile | grep sun7i-a20-orangepi)" == "" ]; then sed -i 's/sun7i-a20-bananapi.dtb \\/sun7i-a20-bananapi.dtb \\\n sun7i-a20-orangepi.dtb \\/g' arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile cp $SRC/lib/patch/sun7i-a20-orangepi.dts arch/arm/boot/dts/ cp $SRC/lib/patch/sun4i-a10.h arch/arm/boot/dts/include/dt-bindings/pinctrl fi So the patch for the orange pi applies to the bananapi as well? May I have to change the if-construct? Thank you, ~September~

Ooops.

Hi Igor, I encountered an issue on Bananapi with kernel 4.2 using your latest SDK: A reboot or powercycle will fail with getting eth0 up and running (no IP address). I tried these both combinations: u-boot: 2015.04 + kernel: 4.2 u-boot: 2015.07 + kernel: 4.2 dmesg delivers: [ 13.387092] sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet: no reset control found [ 13.394879] Ring mode enabled [ 13.402647] No HW DMA feature register supported [ 13.402814] Normal descriptors [ 13.418061] TX Checksum insertion supported [ 13.498887] libphy: PHY stmmac-0:ffffffff not found [ 13.507177] eth0: Could not attach to PHY [ 13.515283] stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19) [ 13.615876] libphy: stmmac: probed [ 13.623515] eth0: PHY ID 001cc915 at 0 IRQ POLL (stmmac-0:00) active [ 13.631591] eth0: PHY ID 001cc915 at 1 IRQ POLL (stmmac-0:01) [ 98.534925] nf_conntrack version 0.5.0 (15937 buckets, 63748 max) Don't know if eth0 interface received a new code base. Using a search engine I only found links related to sunxi 1Gbps eth0 interface which were fixed in u-boot. That's the reason I tried both u-boot releases with kernel 4.2. Compared with u-boot: 2015.04 and kernel: 4.1.6 (used branch 'next' with some warning messages during patch process but not related to BPi): [ 11.861140] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): re-mounted.
