Linux Images (ROCK64)

[gregb49]

Actually,  The local boot process never finished after upgraded to new Kernel.  ..
I have no idea on how to fix  "Warning: root device does not exist" during kernel update.  search on internet, there are tons of similar posts.  it seems a very common issue in Linux world.

Thanks. I'm a new user having just received my Rock64 4GB plus 64gb eMMC plus 32 gb micros SD card all direct from Pine. I installed Mate on the SD Card then using the jumper for 3 seconds (actually a fan for a RPi) transfered the system to the eMMC. All booted perfectly. Browsed the web, fine.
Carried out 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Rebooted. All fine. Got message about software update which I tried, but the updater failed.
Installed Synaptic - updated the sources, installed updates, and rebooted.
I get the initial text booting notifications including your  "Warning: root device does not exist"
then blank screen - nothing.
I've done this twice now, except once I used 
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade instead of updating through synaptic
then on reboot, after the initial text, scrolling by rapidly, I just got a blank screen. 

Are there any clearer instructions on how to install the files from github and which ones to choose, or I should I just try another debian image?
