Can't boot up Manjaro 20.04 eMMc image from SD card...

[User 6582]

Yes, currently logged in as root@manjaro-arm, which is the microSD card.  I suppose I could log into the eMMC as debian, but I don't know how I would make changes from there to the microSD image.

In my experience, using non-eMMC images, the image boots right up and you select the network icon...With the eMMC image you have to wait until it boots after the install...Does this help? :-)

I can't access any kind of GUI on the image.  The image on the microSD itself is the ARM Manjaro eMMC installer, which crashes as soon as I try and have it target the eMMC.  When it crashes, it exits to a text-only shell running bash and logged in as root@manjaro-arm.

Interesting....

Using eMMC installer image, it's all scripted command line info. BUT FIRST, you have to hit any key to get things rolling AFTER the Manjaro symbol and spinning wheel have been there for 15 or 20 seconds. Then it runs you through a few questions to be sure you know what your doing. Then, after it expands the compressed image, if asks you want to install. Once done, it tells you it'll shut down so you can remove the SD card... Boot up and you have ....Somewhere along the line it'll ask about user ID's, passwords and time zones and such...Anyway, NO GUI for eMMC install..But it should be pretty straightforward...

P.S. Did you checksum your image?

Yes, using sha256sum.

I'm stumped. Perhaps someone else has an idea. 
I've been told some SD cards don't work well, for what reason I can't understand.
Have you tried other images for different OS'es to see if there's a difference...?
Sorry to not be of more help...
