What's a good image to use now? [tutorial help as well]

[Der Geist der Maschine]

So I gace this install tool a try, didn't work
Bad vermagic libfdt
Maybe because boot (partition) is empty except for a empty efi dir,
and no sign of a kernel or Image anywhere (this is with a temporary tow-boot uboot)

This installer install Mrfixit's uboot (see partition 1, 2 and 3)

Code:

$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk1
Disk /dev/mmcblk1: 29.81 GiB, 32010928128 bytes, 62521344 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 5F5F39F0-0383-CE4B-9025-E8C8A8993C43

/dev/mmcblk1p6 1466368 62519295 61052928 29.1G Linux filesystem

and it comes with a kernel, or course:

a) it comes with its own uboot, so I assume your spi tow-boot may do things different? Suspend to sleep will probably only work with Mrfixit's uboot and not tow-boot (at least you said so and I believe I heard that elsewhere as well)

b) are you sure the install ran to the end, e.g. it did not abort. The last step is tasksel where you choose your desktop.
