When inserted into the 11inch Pinebook and powered on, the Pinebook logo just stays on the screen indefinitely. I let it sit for about 20-30 minutes and no change. No key on the keyboard makes a change to the display. Only a long press of the power button turns off.
I haven't tried this image yet, but if you can, try a different MicroSD... the pinebook didn't like booting up from one of my microSD cards with the previous image, but was fine with another. It would either not show the boot logo, or would show it, and just freeze there. What should happen (assuming nothing has changed in the install routine) is that the logo should appear for say 30 seconds, and then you will get a text console login with some infomration and a progress bar across the screen as the image is copied from the microSD to the onboard eMMC.
Edit: and I see ayufan posted whilst I was writing this, and I just want to re-iterate what he said... don't have anything plugged into the headphones jack whilst booting... the headphones jack also serves as a serial debug port, and having the headphones in has stopped the pinebook from booting for me :-O
