balbes150 Topic author 382 Report post January 20 Not mounted root. Perhaps any problem with eMMC or wrong DTB. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Markey 0 Report post January 20 Yeah this was working for months with whatever DTB so must be eMMC problem. Is this box for the garbage? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Start the system from external media and try to check the file system in the eMMC. You may need to reinstall. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Markey 0 Report post January 20 Sorry for being annoying, but how can I do that? It doesn't seem to happen automatically when I insert the SD card? I dont have serial access as the the pads are too small 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What media are you trying to use (sd or USB) ? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember not having to install a DTB because everything worked out of the box. What is the exact version of the image installed on the eMMC ? I believe it was the 5.34 server image. What media are you trying to use (sd or USB) ? I have tried both but it is either not booting at all or booting from MMC and oopsing.. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember not having to install a DTB because everything worked out of the box. All images with kernel 4.x require that you configure the dtb. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Markey 0 Report post January 20 I have tried Armbian_5.34_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.9.40_server_20171112.img via USB. I can see activity on the USB disk but the screen stays blank.... Is USB or SD card better in this scenario? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For all images except the older versions with kernel 3.14.29 it is necessary to configure the dtb (according to the recommendations for each option, please note that the recommendations are different for each kernel). For the 4.9 kernel, you must configure the dtb. In your case (potential problems with eMMC) you need to configure all images to use dtb from external media (including kernel 3.14.29). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C0NPAQ 0 Report post January 31 What do you mean by "configure the dtb"? You mean, to copy the appropriate file from the dtbs directory to dtb.img (or use that envini script to point to the right file)? Or something else? Because we already needed to do that on 3.14 kernels. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I already tried that with different resolutions on different Screens, but all resolutions look like this: only 1080p works fine. Always need to delete the xfce settings after changing, as there is no way to set it back to normal afterwords... Any Ideas? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
