I see all the available distro options, but selecting any of them only brings up the associated logo (ex: Fedora logo, PinePhone p-boot screen) but nothing actually boots. The only exception is selecting 'boot from eMMc', which boots correctly. I resized the sd card partition and my battery is charged. Has anyone else had this problem?
Yes. I have had the same problem, but only rarely. In desperation, at least once or twice I deviated from Megous' installation howto when I've had problems and I had success using Gparted to resize and error check the partition, but I may have had to install btrfs support on my MX-Linux system, which I use for flashing my Pine SD cards, to get Gparted to work. I don't recall exactly.
I know from years of experience booting the versatile and highly customizable MX-Linux and antiX "live" environments on Intel architecture and also Armbian on my PineBook Pro that SD cards can be problematic. (Armbian devotes a relatively large section of its FAQ to warning of the simple problem of unreliable SD cards.) I am currently using only SanDisk UHS-1 A1 cards and they have been 100% reliable. I've had good luck with Samsung cards in the past too. Personally, I've had so much trouble with other brands through the years that I'll only use these two SD card brands.
