There is a possibility that it is using /boot from emmc and / from SD,, this is quite bad, MUST be fixed
/boot should be on SD if booting from SD, comes from identical fs labels, confuses kernel
With manjaro, usually blk1 is SD,, blk2 is emmc
Not a chance, it is in fact using the emmc as /boot.
I know this because before I backed myself into this orange like purgatory corner, I reinstalled Manjaro 20.08 to the emmc with manjaro-arm-flasher, and in order to make that function, I had to umount /boot because I'd noticed that was using /dev/mmcblk2 or whatever it's called.
Happily I have a new 128GB emmc arriving Saturday, along with an emmc USB adapter so I should be able to fix this and also be OK for any future issue.
I also placed an order for the UART debug cable, but that hasn't been acknowledged by Pine yet so who knows when that'll arrive
While I'll admit I got frustrated and a bit bitter at first, once I readjusted my expectations around the fact that this platform is SERIOUSLY the Wild, Wild West, and that this was going to be a huge opportunity for learning, I'm actually enjoying the process.
I do look forward to getting the Pinebook Pro to a working state though, and I did in fact perform that magnet lid closure test and the laptop does sleep when the lid is 1-2" away from closing, so that's why we're pretty sure this will fix it.
Now if only my wife and I can succeed in fixing the magnet position without smashing anything
Thanks for all the feedback and help folks. This community is incredible!
