Unable to boot: blinking red light
01-15-2020, 12:16 PM
It seems that after modifying my fstab on manjaro to mount a swap partition, the pinebook pro is unable to boot.
The problem is, the mmc has boot priority over the sd-card, so the only way to boot from sd is to disable the mmc, which leaves me unable to access the fstab in question. Enabling the mmc after boot doesn't make it visible either.
However, now I think about it, when I was installing manjaro, it did boot from the sd-card without having to disable the mmc.
Can it be something else that's wrong? A corrupted u-boot install maybe?
Unfortunately, I don't have a working UART cable (I ordered the official one that runs on 5V), nor do I have a usb to mmc adapter.
Does anyone have any ideas to fix this?
