This prompted me to reinstall my pine64 which has been sitting idle
for a while, since the old install (based on a vendor image) on it
stopped booting. Your instructions worked fine and after installation
the system sucessfully rebooted to a login prompt.
Great :)
At that point I got distracted, when I came back a day or so later I
found that the Ethernet interface had stopped working. It appeared to
be up and had an IP address (meaning it must have passed some packets
since the reboot), but no traffic was getting through. Downing and
re-upping the interface brought it back to life. I also rebooted the
system and found the network interface had come up successfully after
the reboot.
Then I ran into another problem. I have a SATA hard disk connected by
a startech USB to SATA/IDE adapter (I belive its
https://www.startech.com/uk/HDD/Adapters/USB-20-to-IDE-or-SATA-Adapter-Cable~USB2SATAIDE
though I'm not using the PSU that came with it). When I tried to rsync
a large file (an image of the pre-reinstall SD card contents) to said
drive it dropped out. I unmounted and re-mounted the drive (which had
renamed itself from sda to sdb after the dropout) and tried again, but
the same happened again.
As usual with this kind of devices, do make sure you have a good power
source (for the PINE A64 ideally via the Euler bus instead of the
micro-USB connector).
