I attempted 3 times, verified md5sum signature on image file.
This morning I was successful in booting ayufan's bionic lxde first time, using same process, same hardware.
I've also tried the pinebookpro-debian-desktop-mrfixit-190905.img multiple times on 3 different microsd cards with the same results as you... I see the boot splash, briefly see the console login, and then I get a blank screen.

I edited the extlinux.conf on the boot partition of the microsd and changed "root=PARTUUID=deedbeef-02" to the device holding the root partition on the microsd "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2". After that it booted.

That makes sense. Observing the boot with the serial cable shows that it hangs at "starting kernel". The kernel cannot find init (systemd).
Looks like it's time for me to learn the embedded Linux boot process.
