    I'm experimenting with installing Bullseye on a Cubox-i4Pro I keep around for testing purposes.

    I followed the instructions at:
    http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/README.concatenateable_images

    Then I dd'ed the resulting complete image onto an 8GB microSD card, which I then inserted into the microSD slot in the Cubox-I. When I applied power, I got the attached log on the serial console.

    Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is this a bug in the installer? If so, what's the best way for me to volunteer to help as a tester in debugging it.

    Those sound like reasonable steps...

    What's confusing is your screen logs shows a u-boot from bookworm/sid:

    U-Boot SPL 2022.04+dfsg-2+b1 (May 14 2022 - 21:25:25 +0000)

    So either the images you downloaded were not the images you thought you downloaded... or you saved the wrong screenlog file... or the bullseye
    images contain u-boot from the wrong release... or somehow you're
    loading u-boot from some other media, such as eMMC?

    I actually need to reinstall a cuboxi4pro maybe by the end of the week,
    so I will test it myself then.


    live well,

    Well, I re-downloaded and re-copied the resulting complete image to a micro-SD card by a different manufacturer, and lo and behold, it all works this time!

    Sigh!
    Sorry for all the noise,
