Hey Sorry for late reply I just saw replies. I tried Downloading the kernel you shared  but I had no luck installing it  only if you don't mind can you give me little more details how to install it ? extracting it didn't help and as I mentioned earlier I am not much of a linux guy

It looks like It's Good Idea to attach only one Hard Drive. I don't have much experience(next to nothing) linux development and as you mention it's bad for hard drives

Thanks for Quick Reply, I should have research about this before buying the banana pi m2u . My Daily used Raspberry pi died on me few days before buying this. I used Raspberry pi as the my Home media server and without it it's difficult to live for me that's why I rush to buy a new one with better performance  and sata enable so I can directly plug my hard drives for banana pi with a sata port multiplier but I couldn't find single article  which sate how to setup a sata port multiplier in banana pi m2u. So I end up plugin only one hard disk to banana pi. Do you know any way to make a sata port multiplier work on banana pi m2u ? and can you recommend a good  linux distros  that I can use for banana pi m2u I only need to use CLI no GUI required.

I have worked with Raspberry pi for some time but I need a board with SATA port so I can plug in my hard drive directly so I got a Banana Pi M2U from ebay. When It arrived I thought this will be normal as my Raspberry pi So I downloaded image (Raspbian Jiessie) from http://www.banana-pi.org/m2u-download.html and burn it to SD card and boot up. It booted up I worked it with for few weeks and noticed it's not stable Pi Randomly Crash and I can't use a sata port multiplier. Then I found about armbian, So I went to armbian site and download the image for banana pi m2 and burn it with etcher and put the sd card to pi but it won't boot up, no display and and only one led on the board light up and ethernet lights also not turning on. Is this because I download the image for banana pi m2 not for m2u(there is not image for m2u) ?
