Thanks Zador, every thing I post is based on a freash armbian 5.00 image. I did have two TF card, and only try new image on the spare one.

Sure thing: root@bananapi:~# dpkg -l|grep u-boot ii linux-u-boot-bananapi-next 5.01 armhf Uboot loader 2016.01 ii u-boot-tools 2014.10+dfsg1-5 armhf companion tools for Das U-Boot bootloader @igor Only thing I can think of is, I'm using external power source to power the hard disk. Will it be different? Like I mentioned previously, same set up can work under previous build (4.5) or other distro (with kernal 4.3.3) Thanks again.

Did an apt-get upgrade, and also using dd to push uboot manually to mmc. But my sata hard disk is still not coming up. Here the dmesg I have. root@bananapi:~# dmesg|grep ata [ 0.000000] CPU: PIPT / VIPT nonaliasing data cache, VIPT aliasing instruction cache [ 0.000000] Memory policy: Data cache writealloc [ 0.000000] Memory: 1010820K/1046952K available (6822K kernel code, 256K rwdata, 1760K rodata, 328K init, 280K bss, 19748K reserved, 16384K cma-reserved, 244136K highmem) .data : 0xc08bc000 - 0xc08fc1a0 ( 257 kB) [ 3.205286] libata version 3.00 loaded.

Same problem here --- sata drive did not show up after upgrade to armbian 5.0 I'm using armbian 5.0 on a banana pro. And using external power source for the sata hard drive. And the hard disk did not show up after upgrade.
