Banana Pro can't power up with Armbian/Bananian

Hi,

Recently while I was using the banana pro, it locked itself up and I had to manually pull out the power. And after that, it cannot boot anymore with armbian or bananian, the red light turned on and thats it, no more activities. :-(

But with lemaker's oficial image it can boot up normally. 

 

What could be the problem? Do I have a faulty hardware? 

 

Thanks!

You might run into one known bug. If you are trying to install image with kernel 4.x and you don't use latest Armbian image, system might not boot if you had and old kernel before ... which is quite common and almost sure with yours.

Thanks for reply! I read through that thread carefully, but banana pro does not have an hwclock. 

 

In fact I have been testing armbian and bananian with legacy kernel 3.4.10x all the time.

 

Also tested bananian 15.04 - debian wheezy. The symptom is different, the green led becomes constant on. I don't have any HDMI display or serial cable so I'm stuck without any info :-(

 

I'm considering the possibility of an faulty hardware. Maybe sending it back for repair.

 

Thanks!

Plug something on and see what's going on. Perhaps it's just an SD card ...

 

 

I've swapped multiple cards with no avail... Although I can boot with lemaker official image, it's a bit unstable. Hangs from time to time.

Power supply is fine with an 5V-3A adapter.

 

I've contacted the vendor and prepare to send it back for repair.

 

Anyways, thanks for your help!
