There is one bug related to UEFI installer which you might have luck to bump into  I hope we will soon fix this. If not before, next time I am reinstalling OS on my x86 hardware. I use Armbian x86 almost exclusively.

Yes but you are smart Igor.   I'm actually writing a book on building a home media server. Not for smart people. i wrote one of the first website automation books for Wiley back in 1996, and gave away on the CD what was probably the first remote authoring software for the masses, long before wordpress.  When I figure out a repeatable path to do cool stuff easy I like to share it, and I think the pis are an absolute revolution.  Figured I'd keep the instructions on an os as easy as possible and consistent. I'll try this again in a month or so and see if it's fixed. No biggie. Linux Mint is pretty light and you set up a user and pw so you don't have to go searching for the login.

 

Thanks for answering Igor.

GOOD NEWS FOLKS !!!

I can say now UEFI x86 can arm64 chroot in Armbian if we fix the missing link as I indicated in  https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1820

thus we can, i imagine, cross compile in the target sbc directly. Here is the screenshot..
