Bug in Armbian script- Unable to login to Armbian after copying image to SSD

[Smartman]

Hi Team,

Greetings.

I am using OPi4 LTS Emmc with 16 GB version.

kernel:

Linux orangepi4-lts 5.15.93-rockchip64 #23.02.2 SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 17 23:48:36 UTC 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux.

 

installed Armbian in Emmc worked like charm.

 

Issue:

I connected the SSD WD SN570 and format with nand -sata-install on Armbian to boot and use SSD boot.

then I got successful msg all done and ready to reboot.

 

once after the reboot I got this msg.

 

then I tried root it doesn’t work and control-d comes back to same screen.

 

Troubleshooting with a gentleman's assistance:

1. Booted with SD card which has Manjaro.

2. Here are the results of fstab, lsblk, fdisk etc.

 

Suspecting that the Armbian script is broken, I purchased the 1 TB SSD for productivity purposes; however, now either the EMMC or the SSD are starting up. Any help would be appreciated!!

It's know that is broken, it was fixed but since we are in the middle of big changes, we have deconstructed updating mechanism which is slowly going to be back in function.

Try to use self build or daily auto build image and this problem is probably gone.

All system and data is still on eMMC and SATA, but unable to boot in either of those.

So, how i can boot it now with emmc without Hardreset, any suggestions to tweak boot-loader to boot it?

I have SD card which can boot with Manjaro.

Please advise with steps.

Done with this bot still unable to boot via SSD.

Any suggestions?

Finally performed these steps:

1. With New SD card - Downloaded the new Armbian image.

2. Booted normally with SD card.

3. on booting Armbian select nand-sata-install to install/copy the SDCard into eMMC.

4. Finally able to boot from Emmc and SSD visible.
