I just hangs like you can see on the photo on the first comment in this forumthread:
https://forum.armbian.com/topic/14724-ro...-v44-does/
Would this u-boot also solve that problem? Currently booting from SDCard but would prefer eMMC of course.
If you're using Armbian, probably best to stick with Armbian's U-Boot. It makes things simpler and Armbian volunteers probably don't want to support mixing other builds of U-Boot with Armbian Linux.
FWIW, if you're seeing log messages about /scripts/local-premount and so on like in the photo, that's booted up the Linux kernel and got as far as running the scripts on initramfs. So U-Boot may not be the issue here. I would suspect the scripts on initramfs are having trouble finding the root filesystem to mount it and continue booting. Look at your root= argument in the kernel command line, check it's specifying the filesystem you want, and see if you can enable more verbose logging (remove things like quiet from the kernel arguments) to get more information.
Hi,
I don't know if it is your case, it happened to me when I made an direct image of my emmc to boot from a ssd nvme : the root dev was indeed pointing on the emmc device instead on the ssd. I did not want to bother and downloaded the new image with the 5.10 kernel.
But I suppose that the good procedure would be to specify the root dev :
- get the uuid of the dev containing the root/ : "lsblk -o NAME,PATH,MOUNTPOINT,UUID "
- in the file /boot/armbianEnv.txt change UUID of the line "rootdev=UUID=" with the UUID on the root or "/" mountpoint
