Pinebook picky about which EMMC will boot
#3
yep, reset button. the one one the motherboard. Reset and recovery, right above the EMMC.

So here is where I have gotten:

- setting up the entire OS on PBA and moving that EMMC to PBB did not work at all
- old sd card with old version of manjaro will boot. Brand new card flashed with newest manjaro does not boot
- when old sdcard is in the slot it will randomly boot to EMMC (about 75%R chance boot to old version of manjaro 25% chance boots to EMMC)
- no LED of any kind unless I put the old sdcard in the sdslot
- I did write the EMMC with zeros and then used the shred option from the partion manager on my desktop. I will give it a shot with fstrim later if that is still advised.

As I said I will try with fstrim and see if that helps. I am also going to try older versions and other distros I just havent had time yet. I will continue to update this thread with my progress.
