Raspberry Pi 3 is unbootable, 4 boots

Description

Probably due to changes in partition handling https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/eef32d072eeba4e1061ae04ab111b64da5c6ef8d

Exactly. Pi3 does not support ESP.

Basically just don't use gpt on pis. In order to do EFI on a pi you need to use uboot anyway.

but is this a problem? are images gpt now ... can't find change

That FAT part is ESP. So looks like it's GPT? Unless for some reason it was just given a ESP flag for no reason. (edited)

Alright. I got it booting just by removing the ESP flag from the partition. So stop it from being flagged/labeled ESP during img creation and it should be fine.
