eMMC frequently not found by Linux kernel (especially on low battery)
#10
@v-man You might modify your "/boot" on the SD card to use the root file system on the eMMC. This might not be too bad as a work around.

From what you said about the eMMC not being available, it's almost as if it's too slow during initialization such that the boot code thinks it does not exist. So, skips over the eMMC on many boots. If you are using the stock 64GB eMMC you might try buying another or even the 128GB eMMC.

If you get a NVMe adapter, make sure you get a lower power NVMe M.2 PCIe drive. Many people have had trouble because they bought high performance ones, that required lots of power. More than the CPU even.
