Hi!
I tried getting help on the Manjaro forum with this post (https://forum.manjaro.org/t/cant-run-ima...ght/135853) but still couldn't get a solution for my problem, so I decided to try my luck here. Here's the problem:
I haven't been able to run the latest versions of Manjaro on the Pinebook Pro's eMMc.
Here's what happens with different installer eMMc images to the eMMc:
19.12 XFCE - installs, runs smoothly, updates to the latest version
19.12 KDE - installs, runs smoothly, updates to the latest version
20.02 XFCE and KDE - copies files from SD to eMMc, but on restart, no more than a black screen with orange light in the keyboard;
20.04 XFCE and KDE - same as version 20.02
Other aspects to this install failure:
- SD slot becomes unusable as well: can't boot anything from the SD
- only after removing the eMMc can I boot from the SD, but only an 8GB SD; i've tried two 32 GB SDs but they won't boot.
Other facts:
- SD installs of Manjaro do run fine, all of them
- I tried both dd and etcher to build the images
- I edited the file in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf to include the two dots as instructed
