@Werner NVME, sorry...

G’day guys, just grabbed a version of Armbian again to play around with on an orange Pi 5 I have had for a while. I have installed the latest stable (25.5.1 Noble Gnome). Everything went smoothly, and I have a 512GB ssd on the board, so I went through the install process using armbian-install. I managed to get the OS installed on the SSD, but when I went to install the bootloader, I got some error messages saying that the SPI image was not chosen. I followed the process for erasing the MTD, but still I got error messages relating to no spi image. I tried to boot from the ssd and just got a black screen. I downloaded Joshua Riek’s Ubuntu 24.04 distro and booted it from the sd card and ran his command “sudo u-boot-install-mtd”. It installed to the MTD and then I shut down and removed the sd card and booted up. Armbian has now booted from the SSD with no issues. I couldn’t find anything on the forum so I thought I would post this to assist anyone else who has this issue. If the guys at Armbian have any thoughts on why this may have happened please let me know.
