Thanks for the help. My device doesn't work with the flash-image-1g-1200_750_boot_sd_and_usb.bin image, but the 1000_800 does work just fine. Even the SATA-Card works now. Thanks again! Cheers!

Thanks for that. Unfortunatly something is fishy now, and the machine is bricked i took the 1g-1200_750 - which might have been too much. Time to find out how to unbrick it... Any hints?

Hi there, as already discussed here, https://forum.armbian.com/topic/5318-looking-for-an-enclosure-for-espressobin/?do=findComment&comment=49396 it seems that this 4-sata mini pci express card is supposed to be supported by armbian. As I wrote in that post, it doesn't work for me. I've tried Armbian default and next. The cards work, since I got them running with espressobin's Ubuntu distribution. Also, I've compiled a 4.4.52 Kernel according to: http://wiki.espressobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Build+From+Source+-+Kernel It also works just fine with Armbian. So, my guess is that there's something different in the kernel config provided by linux-marvel and armbian when it comes to this chipset. For reference, I've attached the screen output from a boot with the sata card. I can not seem to find the kernel-config in the armbian-buildroot. Where do I find that? I've already set *KERNEL_KEEP_CONFIG="yes"* in default-config.conf Any help is aprreciated. Cheers! udo, screenlog.0.defauft

Hi there. I have exactly the same card as you have but mine doesn't work. Actually I have 2 of those cards and 2 espressobins. No combination of devices works for me. espressobin's ubuntu 16.04 does work fine. I'm using armbian next. And getting kernel panics when the sata card is attached. already did some fiddling around with kernel compiling. I thought that the kernel was missing the mv_sata module. That didn't help. Which armbian version are you using? Thanks, udo.
