Orange Pi Plus 2 - Problem with Arch / Gentoo / ... installer to emmc

Paul75

Hello,

I try to install Arch Linux or Gentoo or Fedora to EMMX but When I do the command sudo install_to_emmc it failed. I've got a message "ERROR".

I see in screen :

Installing Linux system to emmc
WARNING: EMMC WILL BE ERASED !, Continue (y/N)?  y
Erasing EMMC ...
Creating new filesystem on EMMC ...
ERROR.


But only Debian works to install in emmc. Why ???

Again when I want to install to emmc debian XFCE when i restart without the SD it not launch the desktop, i have a login prompt.

Thanks.

it is very easy.

1) First connect to internet via the LAN cable
2) try `sudo pacman -Syu` to fetch the updated installation urls. Hit NO when asked to install update packages.
3) Now do `sudo pacman -S parted dosfstools` to install the partitioning pr the disk packages
4) Now you can do `sudo install_to_emmc` .... have fun ....
