$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('picklegun', 'H')as anyone had any problems after running fsck on the sd card? I had to reinstall the bootloader with the /boot/sd_fusing.sh script. Even now, when I run fsck.ext4 -fn (force recheck, don't do anything to the filesystem) on the sd card, I get errors.
Is there some kind of incompatibility between u-boot and the ext4 filesystem?
No incompatibility. Make sure you are using up-to-date fdisk to partition. Old version did not start a partition on 2048 sector by default (CentOS, LTS Ubuntu, Debian stable may use an old fdisk but I haven't checked) so your partition may overlap with uboot.

Egg on my face. You were right that my XU4 no-boot problem was not related to the issue others have reported here. During the install process, my finger's muscle-memory was causing me to type
sh sd_fusing.sh /dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/sdb.
After following the install guide to the letter, my XU4 is back up and working great.
Thank you for so politely nudging me to reexamine my assumptions!
