Tried image from main download page would not boot

https://www.armbian.com/donate/?f=https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/Debian_jessie_next.7z

 

Tried image from archive would not boot

https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/archive/Armbian_5.24_Bananapim2_Debian_jessie_next_4.9.5.7z

 

Tried using tool to build my own image and that also failed to boot.

 

Tried older image which did boot,

https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/archive/Armbian_5.20_Bananapim2_Debian_jessie_4.7.3_desktop.7z

and tried adding new kernel using tool, after loading deb files it also would not reboot before reboot OS was not responding correctly.

 

What I would like to accomplish is add my own patched kernel, (RT-PREEMPT) to debian desktop image for banana pi M2

 

Any help would be appreciated

Also tried Ubuntu which failed to boot

https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/Ubuntu_xenial_next_desktop.7z

 

Also tried command line archive failed to boot

https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/archive/Armbian_5.24_Bananapim2_Debian_jessie_next_4.9.5.7z

 

Also used tool to make dev image failed to boot

Armbian_5.25_Bananapim2_Debian_jessie_dev_4.10.0_desktop.img

 

Is it possible to get a older version of tool that worked for Banana PiM2 to add kernel to older image ?

 

Tim

Also tried Ubuntu 4.9.7 started to boot kernel but failed to boot

https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/archive/Armbian_5.25_Bananapim2_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.9.7_desktop.7z

 

Also tried new 4.9.7 debian cmd line next failed to boot

https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/archive/Armbian_5.25_Bananapim2_Debian_jessie_next_4.9.7.7z

 

Also tried tool created the following image thinking maybe tool would update itself due to new images in archive, but it failed to boot

Armbian_5.25_Bananapim2_Debian_jessie_next_4.9.7-rt4_desktop.img

 

I am just a user of Armbian and really appreciate all the work you developers put into this. But I don't get it why make available images and a tool that do not work for a particular board such as the Banana Pi M2

 

Tim

It boots (I made a test), just video out is somehow failing and we wrote down this fact in release documentation which is hard to miss. We don't have resources to fix such problems in last minute and also removing the board would raise questions. In last 24h I made only few hours sleep since I am fixing small things on the way while releasing around new 150 images, which were built one after another in an automated way (for a whole day). Unfortunately I could not find a fix for M2. With adding a note we give out important information, which should prevent you in using broken image and raising unnecessary and costly support questions.

 

You understand now?

 

Just remind yourself that this operating system and the tool come as is in first place and if it doesn't work, you report that or try to fix the problem on your own. No one will jump and start fixing.

Thank You for explaining
