I followed all the instructions given at http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_NEO#Make_Your_Own_Ubun... for building custom Debian. Unfortunately, the SD card won't boot. When I insert the SD card and boot the device, it boots the Kernel properly but doesn't mount the rootfs and doesn't show login prompt. I have done this a couple of times thinking I might have messed up something but to no avail. This is the serial output (last few lines) [ 3.701347] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) [ 3.714240] VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) on device 179:2.

[ 4.556652] systemd[1]: Set hostname to <FriendlyARM>. . . . . Ubuntu 15.10 .... It seems the rootfs is not being mounted properly. Can anyone please guide me with this? Also I have paritioned the SD card as follows :--Free Space 25MB--:--Boot--uImage,script.bin--:--RootFS--contents of rootfs.cpio.gz----: Please help me out.
