It looks that it tries to mount the eMMC partition mmcsd0s2 instead of
the actual one from the SD card mmcsd1s2.

As far as I remember I wasn't able to boot 11.x when it was the main
line, and switched to the unreleased (that time) 12 right away.

However, I believe, it can boot if the image is copied to eMMC, or at
least, the second partition, although it's not a trivial thing to do.

Another way is to modify the image itself to mount mmcsd1s2 as root.
