Re: failure trying to install bullseye on Cubox-i

2022-07-19 Thread Rick Thomas
Well, I re-downloaded and re-copied the resulting complete image to a micro-SD 
card by a different manufacturer, and lo and behold, it all works this time!

Sigh!
Sorry for all the noise,
Rick

Those sound like reasonable steps...

What's confusing is your screen logs shows a u-boot from bookworm/sid:

  U-Boot SPL 2022.04+dfsg-2+b1 (May 14 2022 - 21:25:25 +)

So either the images you downloaded were not the images you thought you
downloaded... or you saved the wrong screenlog file... or the bullseye
images contain u-boot from the wrong release... or somehow you're
loading u-boot from some other media, such as eMMC?

I actually need to reinstall a cuboxi4pro maybe by the end of the week,
so I will test it myself then.

In case it helps, the two components I used in this experiment are:

Any clues are appreciated!
