Any ways to install to fresh virtual HDD? armbian-install not helps, not detect SATA VHD.

Just managed to boot in VBox using: "VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VDI [filename].img [filename].vdi" And NO, IMG-format and ISO-format aren't equal.

Well, we mostly use Win PCs. So using either Virtual Box or Hyper-V. And no any possible ways to use IMG in these engines. Could you distribute ISO-image for x64 build?

So "Armbian_5.31_Cubieboard2_Debian_jessie_next_4.11.5" has no NAND support? Damn, I ruined my install, selected "install Next kernel" and... Now either to reinstall 3.4 to NAND or install 4.1 on SD?

I have problem with transmission-deamon on my CubieA20. It not starting listening on boot. Only after service restart. Met same problem on Raspberry-3 but it cured by enabling "boot to wait until a network connection is established" option. I checked the raspi-config and taken same measures on my A20 ("ExecStart=/sbin/dhcpcd -q -w" etc). Not succeeded! Anyone have alternate methods? There's some more applications that not starting on boot if connection not active, Blynk-client for ex. PS: I use legacy kernel on 5.25 Armbian. UPD: Problem resolved by editing /etc/network/interfaces.

BTW, funny note! Legacy repo contains the stable version of Lazarus1.6/FPC3.0. Next repo (I have Raspberry with kernel 4.5) hasn't! I just wonder...

I'm really moron. When I saw points's'stripes on the screen and it darken then I just thought it turned off. In reality NOT! It boots ok (legacy default). Now I'm checking if it installed to NAND ok (still in progress). Igor, thanx again for your project! upd: result negative - copy to nand complete, shutdown, removed tf-card, boot... none! I think it is problem with bootfs/nand1. Will put here the logfile later. upd2: Tada! I did it. Fixed tiny bug in nand-sata-install that just make it fail and skips formatting boot partition. Just remove "-qF" in "mkfs.vfat" (no such options here).

OMFG! I forgot about it, thanx for reminder! That's why I prefer legacy kernel!

Alas, my linux grade is _ethernal_beginner_. So I'd like but I can't help. Anyhow, I'll hope on fixing.

So no way to use nand? Is it really normal?

BTW, even though non-legacy image starts ok, it don't see NAND on my Cubie2. I tried to run Android and Lubuntu Desk from NAND - anyway nand-sata-install (when then I boot Armbian from TF) tells "No target". What a disappointment! Tricolery, thanx, I have Debian Jessie on my Win7 (on VMWare). It must be usable for this. But could you be more specific in 7th chapter? Where I can get u-boot 5.23?

So long time same issue - bad bootloader in all legacy kernels! Dear Igor, please fix it at last! Member tricolery, pls write step-by-step manual to get board with legacy alive. I don't know how to flash u-boot and where to get v.5.23.

Well, same problem on my Cubieboard2 with latest legacy images. Green&white points&lines on LCD (HDMI) right after "Starting kernel" and poweroff. Boot with power button as above helps but I hope it will be fixed soon.
