So this is what happened:
I dd'd mrfixit's debian image to the SD card. Synced multiple times. When shutting down and trying to boot from SD card, it didn't came up. I waited about 10 minutes, but nothing happened. After booting from eMMC and inserting the SD card, I could see that the root file system has been expanded to 64G. So I guess it started booting from SD card , but got stuck at some point. Any ideas what might be the problem here?
"I could see that the root file system has been expanded to 64G. So I guess it started booting from SD card". Very good observation!
The journal is unfortunately not persistent. Make it persistent in /etc/systemd/journald.conf of the SD card and boot one more time.

I think, Mrfixit's OS has sshd enabled and a default password. Can you ssh into the failed boot and look around?
