bring card back to reader, can't mount it, wrong filesystem for both
partitions. Give up, write Armbian-jammie-full-desktop iso to card,
mounts ok, boots bananapi-m5 normally.
What did I do wrong?
Hard to say based on so little information...
My wild guess is the Armbian-jammie-full-desktop iso includes boot
firmware.
unk to me
Do you have a URL to the exact image you used?
The most recent build, 12-1 of the arm64 menu on debians quite confusing
web page. I didn't bookmark the URL
Do you have any output from the serial console when trying to boot the
Debian image? Armbian?
debian-12.1.0-arm64-netinst.iso
Armbian_23.5.1_Bananapim5_jammy_current_6.1.30.img
The only way what you did might work is if you have boot firmware
present on some other media (e.g. SPI, eMMC, etc.) that implements EFI,
such as edk2/tianocore or u-boot.
I take it that debian is not ready to boot on just any old arm64. So
while I've installed about 4 more gigs of jammie, I have yet to see a
gui package manager because its usung wayland and wayland doesn't allow
anything needing root. wayland will have arrived when we have a gui
based package manager that unlike aptitude, speaks english. Something
that tells us whats its going to do BEFORE it does it.
So what I am in the midst of doing, is with the huge amount of trash
installed, used gparted for partition and label the 16Gb emmc that it
not used into something I can save the working network stuff to, saved
it all and will now start with a new card with the bare jammie on it,
boot that, mount the 16G emmc, restore the networking stuff reboot and
continue my search for enough stuff including xorg & nginx, to run a 3d
printer with kiauh handling that install on a system that is not
contaminated with the 800 pkgs gnome pulled in.
live well,
I have indeed done that for 88 years. I wish I had room left in the wet
ram for half of what you've done. Thank you, a lot.
