hi, im trying to make my radxa 4d in to a open media vault server, iv down loaded the file from armbian's web side but it wont boot, pluging it in to one of my raspberry pi's and useing gparted, i can only see one partision for it and can view it, dose this need a boot loader?

iv also tryed downloading Debian 14 (Forky) from the armbian web site and got that to boot, but the script from armbian-config is broken ( missing stuff like php) and iv tryed the script from open media vault but that errors with eth0 missing.

do i need to  install a boot loader on the armbian open media vault image ?

How did you flash the Armbian image?  Did you validate the checksum for the image?  What software did you use for flashing the image?

the software i used to flash the sd card, was balenaEtcher and Rufus, i did not validate the checksum both the SHA  ASC  are  404 file not found.

You can find them here https://imola.armbian.com/cache/artifacts/ 

 

In case you / someone want to help fixing this - this script https://github.com/armbian/armbian.github.io/blob/main/.github/workflows/generate-web-index.yml needs to be adjusted to add additional entries to the download JSON file for those three variants https://github.com/armbian/armbian.github.io/blob/main/.github/workflows/generate-web-index.yml#L140-L142

Few months ago GitHub introduced limitations on number of artifacts per release to 1000. And in order to keep providing CLI + desktop combo - especially for - community targets, we had to drop uploading sha, asc and torrent files to GitHub release storage. Instead, they are moved to cache.armbian.com under predicted structure, but links are missing from JSON as they don't exists on the release page where current script is scrapping from.
