I'm running ManjaroARM on my PBP. The OS is installed on the eMMC storage. I also have an SD card permanently installed for extra space. Both the eMMC and the SD card have DOS-format partition tables. The SD card is not bootable; the space reserved for a bootloader (in between the MBR and the partition) is zeroed. The SPI flash is blank.
This arrangement used to work fine, but ever since the most recent update to u-boot from Manjaro's official repositories, the laptop won't boot with the SD card present. This is a complete console log:
followed by a whole bunch of spew about also being unable to boot off the network (as expected) and a => prompt.
If the SD card is not present, everything is the same up till the "Hit any key to stop autoboot" prompt, after which I get
and the machine boots normally.
So what this looks like to me is that u-boot is no longer falling back to booting from the internal eMMC if the SD card is unbootable. How can I persuade it to start doing that again? It's really annoying to have to pop the SD card out every time I start up the laptop and then put it back after it's booted.
