Hello. I just wanted to let you know about a possible bug I have found in the kernel installation script. I was using my OPi+2e with the default kernel, and today I installed next to test it, using armbian-config. Everything went fine, and seemed very stable overall (I didn'd use it for more than two or three hours, though).
But then I wanted to revert to default, so I used armbian-config again. When I rebooted, the board started the u-boot sequence, but it got stuck on "Starting kernel". No other messages after that. I tried several times, with the same results.
Since I have no logs, the only info I can give you is that I have an external USB HDD connected all the time, and right after appearing that last message "Starting kernel", the disk led always blinked shortly. Maybe it is related with u-boot trying to find the kernel in that drive. The strange thing is that there was no kernel panic message, nothing happened.
(P.S.: I had made a nand backup before upgrading, so I just reflashed it and everythig went back to normal. So I can't give any further info in the bug).
