Package: u-boot-sunxi Version: 2014.10-2015.04 (stable/testing/unstable) Severity: important Tags: d-i upstream
Dear Maintainer, I was trying to use the debian installer SD-card netboot image to install a fresh copy of debian on my Banana Pi (the ones from http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/dists/<stability>/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/). The image boots the u-boot bootloader properly, but fails to load vmlinuz off my sdcard. Loading and booting the installer via tftp works without problems. The same thing happens after installing debian: u-boot boots up properly, but fails to load the kernel (ext2 instead of fat this time). Listing files on the sdcard with fatls/ext2ls gives me the correct list of files without error. Here is the output of u-boot with the netboot image: U-Boot 2014.10+dfsg1-5 (Apr 07 2015 - 22:00:53) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner A20 (SUN7I) I2C: ready DRAM: 1 GiB MMC: SUNXI SD/MMC: 0 In: serial Out: serial Err: serial SCSI: SUNXI SCSI INIT SATA link 0 timeout.

I tried this with a couple of different cards: * SanDisk Ultra II 2GB: does not work * SanDisk Ultra II 2GB (another one): does not work * SanDisk Ultra II 1GB: does not work I also pulled the images off the card again to check the md5sum, it's correct. This applies to stable, testing and unstable (from 25.07.2015) images. Interestingly, it works with an SanDisk Extreme 16GB SDHC card, so this might be a timing issue (as suggested in IRC). I currently don't have any other cards laying around to test this with, so I can't provide info on other cards and manufacturers.
