Error When Trying to Use Pmbootstrap on EMMC for RockPro64 (lemmy.ml)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I plugged in a blank EMMC to my system via the Pine64 EMMC-USB adapter. I ran pmbootstrap and got to the step where I typed

"pmbootstrap install --disk=/dev/sdb --fde".

The error I got was

"ERROR: Command failed (exit code 4): (native) % cryptsetup luksFormat -q --cipher aes-xts-plain64 --iter-time 200 --use-random /dev/installp2"

Any ideas ? I'm using version 3.1 of pmbootstrap and am on an Artix system. Some other info:

Channel: v24.12 (pmaports: v24.12) Device: pine64-rockpro64 (aarch64) UI: mate systemd: no (not supported by pmaports branch)

I also attached a screenshot.

So I did some further testing and had some luck. Pmbootstrap just didn't like that specific EMMC. I could install to another EMMC, a SD Card, could clone the SD card over to the first EMMC, and could install to my NVME. So no idea what the issue was with the first EMMC but i'm happy regardless as I prefer the NVME anyway.
