James,
Per info you provided in ticket - I see you are using RockPi 4A.
Image I’m building is for RockPi 4B and for sure it will not work on Your board without change device tree(*) file
Now DT is for RockPi 4B while Your board requires DT for RockPi 4A.

I described how to do this here: https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/wiki/Running-on-ARM-boards-or-TVboxes#quick-start-guide <https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/wiki/Running-on-ARM-boards-or-TVboxes#quick-start-guide>

So pls copy+rename boot/dtbs/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4a.dtb file to /boot partition named as rk3399_dtb
 
Let make now how it goes.
(in case any future problems - pls try https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/wiki/Running-on-ARM-boards-or-TVboxes#in-case-of-any-problems <https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/wiki/Running-on-ARM-boards-or-TVboxes#in-case-of-any-problems>

(*) device tree is file describing your hardware as is critical for Linux kernel to properly recognise/serve to your hardware
