Hi, I installed the desktop focal version of armbian in orange pi pc. It boots correctly but after install lvm2 and restart, it does not boot. If I don't restart the orangepi the lvm volumes works fine, but after reboot or shutdown it not boot. The steps I made:

Install on sd with ubuntu (restore image directly).

Start the orangepi pc. That's work.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo shutdown -r now

Here it works and boot correctly:

sudo apt-get install lvm2

sudo shutdown -r now

Here dont boot the orange pi:

The log in serial console is:

The only solution I think is install lvm2 when use the disks and purge before shutdown lvm2, with crontab for example. Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks a lot and, sorry for my bad english

 

Hi, buster works. So I move to buster. Thanks

You were using an outdated image. This issue has been fixed a while ago.

Hi, The image was directly downloaded from armbian the day 10-07-2020. The image that I have in my computer  Armbian_20-05-04_Orangepipc_focal_current_5.4.45_desktop.img.xz  (I think change something of the format date of the filename).

This may fix it: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/2108
