Hi,

    has anyone successfully set up Gentoo on an odroidH2 using an eMMC?

I have got as far as the pivot-root (so it loads and executes the intramfs) but fails to find the /dev/mmcblk0p[01] devices.  The sting is I copied the files it to a USB key and that boots fine!  It appears that the eMMC initramfs is not loading the modules for the eMMC where as the USB version is (and they are using the same file!).  I have tried manually loading the modules from the efi shell I think are involved but no mmc devices appear.

The eMMC runs uefi from GPT partitions using refind but as the bios finds and loads the ramdisk I think thats working ok (I did a working ubuntu install first, then reused those partitions.) I can use usb early boot to pivot to the root on the USB key but so far cant pivot from the eMMC initramfs to real_root. Ubuntu uses grub, which I tried first but had even less success with that.

Hints anyone?
