Problem booting Pinebook Pro
#1
Hi!

I'd installed Manjaro 20.04 in my PBP; I did all the mirrorlist change stuff, and I shut it down 2 days ago. Today when I was going to boot it, a red light has shown and it is not opening or doing anything else.

When I try to reinstall the Manjaro 20.04 I pressed ES after 15-20 seconds and there is a black window with blank letters that say:
"[5.102225] EXT4-fs error (device mmcblk1p2): ext4_journal_check_start:84Big Grinetected aborted journal
[5.103046] EXT4-fs (mmcblk1p2): Remounting filesystem read-only"

Today I tried to disable eMMc and installing Manjaro again but the problem persists. I have only been able to mount the Default Debian image from an SD card, but I don't know how to reinstall it to the eMMc or try to boot the eMMc another way... Any ideas?

Thanks very much!

Did you check the integrity of the image you downloaded? Maybe using another SD-card might help too.

Besides quoting it, you can check the "Disable Smilies" checkbox when posting or editing the post to stop it from turning :D :P &c into emoji.

I tried to use another image and using another SD-card, the result was the same.

Then I contacted with the Pine64 support, and finally they said that it could be problem of the motherboard and that I had to change it.

Finally I got an USB to eMMC adapter from Pine64, I connect thee eMMC of my PBP to my PC and it was empty! So I downloaded the Manjaro image again, and I installed it into the eMMC using etcher; probably I did something wrong in order to erase all the data froom the eMMc; but now it's solved!

Thanks to all the community for the support!
