Trying to do the same thing; and getting as far as the Ubuntu installer, but it’s not showing the eMMC as an installation option. NVMe is, but I don’t want to install there 🙂

The eMMC shows in UEFI, but as a “UEFI Misc Device 2”; alongside the SDHC , which appears as “UEFI Misc Device”. In the UEFI Shell the eMMC lists as

```auto
      FS0: Alias(s):HD0b:;BLK1:
          eMMC(0xCA)/HD(1,GPT,B698DBB5-9D2B-46DF-8A34-ADCDEC514FE3,0x800,0x21980
0)
     BLK2: Alias(s):
          eMMC(0xCA)/HD(2,GPT,3238391D-677C-49F7-B6DF-D4AF6BA5C2C1,0x21A000,0x74
55800)

```

Any ideas how to get the eMMC to show in the Ubuntu 22 installer?

**Update** I think my question is already answered [here](https://community.solid-run.com/t/honeycomb-distro-installation-part-1-and-2/301): there is no ACPI support for SDHC/MMC.
