After messing with eMMC partitions, PBP won't boot, even from SD card
#14
If you install Kali by doing:

xzcat kali-linux-2020.2-pinebook-pro.img.xz | dd of=/dev/mmcbl2 bs=1M conv=sync

When you remove the SD card and reboot everything works as expected. Kali is booting and works perfect.

Reboot one more time and BAAM you are stuck with the orange light unable to boot from either emmc or sd card.

What is happening???

I am able to resolve the not booting issue by opening the Pinebook, switching the emmc temporary off and booting from sd. This is handled in other threads on this forum.

But the question is, how are you supposed to install another distribution??? Not like above I guess cause it does not work.
