Pine Phone Explorer Edition - Distrohop Boot Issues
#3
Did you test the SD card slot beforehand? I'm still running the default OS on my Explorer (just showed up yesterday), and I'm not seeing the installed microsd showing up at all... The card doesn't seem to want to go quite all the way in.

I just tried to boot off a usb-c microsd reader, but I have no clue if that would have been expected to work at all...

Update: I removed a small sliver of plastic from the card tray and can now boot off an SD card with no issue. Pretty sure the "hold the power button" is a complete distraction: it just does it by default.
