Armbian ( https://dl.armbian.com/pine64/) : just loads up to a certain point then starts just spewing "Call trace:" Even their Ubuntu image won't boot (Kernel panic).
The Ayunfan current image ( https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-b...tag/0.7.19 ) boots, but requires additional files from an repo to install a desktop which is no longer available.
Older versions seem to get that Kernel Panic also.
The only one I can get up and running, is the one listed on the Wiki, but is not stable at all.

Another other suggestions?
I finally gave up on Armbian as the latest version wouldn't boot with the micro usb connector and 3.2 Amp charger on my pine64 A+. While Auyfan's Debian minimal booted without any issues. I finally managed to resolve all the errors with repos and dependencies with Mate desktop and get a stable Debian Stretch with Mate Desktop up and running.
For reference I have collated all the steps here, if anyone is stuck like me.

In contrast, last week I pulled an original Raspberry Pi out of storage, installed Raspbian, Apache, and RealVNC.
Launched a headless KDE desktop and started serving web pages in about 4 hours. No hitches or glitches.
I'm going to put this Rock64 into storage and let you determined experimenters iron out the kinks.
So far the only saving grace is that this SBC is not very expensive.
If you see my last post under this thread.. I posted this issue 1 year back and threw my pine64 in storage too.. I dont have another sbc. This is just a timepass fun thing that I do and use it with some SDR transceiver.
Almost an year later I pulled out my pine 64A+ and was determined to get it up with a stable desktop and could finally achieve it. Just follow my above blog post for the dependency issues. You should be good.
I ahve added this issue on Ayufan's github for your reference: https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/issues/82
