cannot boot from nvme drive

[Sharelter]

Hi, I just downloaded the newest release of Armbian and flashed into the SD card, it boots up fine from the SD Card.
But I wanna install the system into the Samsung PM9A1 SSD,
So I followed the instruction on the armbian page,
partioned the drive and made a ext4 filesystem.
but I got stuck when I tried to boot up from SSD.
I hooked up a serial cable and got this information

Any idea about this?

This one worked for me.

Hi, I solved this problem by editing the `boot.cmd` file under /boot

 

I checked `/boot/armbianEnv.txt` and got nothing wrong, but the `boot.cmd` still uses the old `mmcblk0p1` which is not correct.

After I edited it and compiled it to boot.scr,

and the system finally boots up normally again!

Odd, my boot.cmd file has setenv rootdev "/dev/mmcblk0p1" yet boots just fine from nvme, without sdcard of emmc installed.

 

How did you create boot.scr from boot.cmd?

 

Found it!

# Recompile with:
# mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr
