I'm new to Debian, Ubuntu for 10 years, feels like close family.
Quote Shallow Thoughts 24 nov 2011:
But on Debian or Ubuntu, if you make changes to files like /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf directly, they'll be overwritten.
The configuration files are regenerated by a program called extlinux-update, which runs automatically every time you update your kernel. (Specifically, it runs from the postinst script of the linux-base package: you can see it in /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-base.postinst.)
First, if you decide you really don't want Debian overwriting your configuration files, you can change disable updates by editing /etc/default/extlinux. Just be aware you won't get your boot menu updated when you install new kernels -- you'll have to remember to update them by hand.
I could use some advise here.
Finally succes.
Removed default Debian from PBP;
Bionic-mate-pinebookpro-0.9.14-1159 image unxz and dd to sdcard.
Startup PBP with sdcard.
Download the image again, unxz and dd to EMMC.
Check with Gparted EMMC boot partition= fat16.
Quit, remove sdcard en start PBP again.
Mount the nvme SSD drive (ext4)
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt (do check the device)
copy the root file system from EMMC to nvme SSD
sudo cp -avx / /mnt
Label the nvme partition with Gparted: NVME
Change root in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
root=LABEL=NVME
Reboot and check with $ sudo lsblk -f
Pinebook Pro Ubuntu 18.04.3 Mate now booting from EMMC and rootfs from NVME.
Works really like a charm.
Next thing to do is to objectify the performance.
