An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro
Glad I could help!

Unfortunately, I've since encountered problems with my own eMMC install of Debian using this installer since then. I was watching a video stream on it, and it was working fine. Then the computer froze at some point. After waiting a good while, I force-restarted my PBP. Now, if it's booting from eMMC, it doesn't even turn on the display at all. The only sign of life is the power LED; it seems to indicate the computer is in a boot loop, since the light tends to repeat a "30-seconds-on, blink off and back on" pattern until I force power off again.

I can still get into the chroot just fine through SD card and ./install-debian do_shell. Does anyone know what might be wrong, and more importantly, how I might fix it?

Edit: I figured it out. I just needed to wait longer, and the OS sorted itself out after several reboot cycles.
