Cards all checked out, high quality, but I did notice something odd....if I don't have my ethernet cable plugged in, it hangs....or rather it appears to hang, for up to 2 mins...then goes to the log in screen.
So it maybe my failures to boot were due to not having my board connected to ethernet...when plugged in, the board boots on all cards...it just takes ages and looks like a hang if you don't have the ethernet cable plugged in.
I'll be happy to post this strange quirk on the FAQ thread.

I'll never understand when the Pine64 guys start to warn regarding well known issue N° 2 that prevents booting: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=514
It's such a common issue that this should be addressed with a FAQ entry and not some post hidden somewhere inside a weird forum full of the same questions again and again.

ah the famous tk sarcasm, the internet wouldnt be the same without it.
the reason I said it was strange, is that my cards are all fine, I check them out and was confident they are up to the job...I then worked out what was different, and the only thing I found was I'd plugged in the ethernet cable....voila, I discovered the problem...its still strange but now I can progress.
about 30-40secs if it is connected.

Next step I would do would be to either measure available voltage when booting (Euler connector pins 2 and 9 or 4 and 6) or directly power the board through these pins.confirmed, I tried again on the 8Gb card, it boots, but....takes several minutes to go to login if the Ethernet is not connected,
about 30-40secs if it is connected.
