Using Ayufan's 6.23 image. I have configured uboot and am able to boot the first time from a USB stick. I set the PW for the Root user and reconfigure SSH so that I can access. I do a halt to reboot. System tries to reboot, but never comes back online. I cannot ping it from any of my other devices. I can reimage the same USB stick and go through this whole process again, and again, and again...
Having the issue on both a 4GB board and a2GB board.
Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions or recommendations?
Had the same issue with the 6.2 release.
Going to try the 5.15 image tomorrow as well as Armbian.
Thank you.

After the first successful login, did you reboot it right away? If so, you may be encountering the same situation I reported about two weeks ago (in IRC). Thanks to Xalius and mth who took the troubles to investigate, it was found out that a process called "flash" was somehow triggered to run in the background after the first boot. This process writes something to /boot/efi.
If you try to reboot before the process is completed, a file in /boot/efi which is needed for booting will be corrupted.
So, try to rei-mage again but after the first successful login, don't reboot right away. Check first if the process called "flash" is still running or not.
Use "ps ax" or better "ps ax | grep flash" to check.
Reboot only after the process is no longer running in the background.
