Hello,
I am using BBB with ubuntu-12.04.3-LTS(3.8.13-kernel). I was working with micro-SD card. Now I copied both boot and rootfs partition into eMMc. I checked all the permissions so permission is not issue. Exactely same copy of SD-card image is in eMMC. Still board is not booting from eMMC. What can be the issue??? Thank you.

there is a special flash/eMMC image of the Angstrom BBB releases so I would venture to guess there’s something other than copying over a couple of partitions.
Unless someone who knows the ins/outs of the eMMC boot flashing process chimes in, you might research what the flashing images do so to found out what you might have to tweak to get your Ubuntu system booting from eMMC.

It's not a permissions problem.. Your mmc device node changed name..
Fix your bootargs & /etc/fstab...

Look into using UUID's..

i wrote a wiki page on that process, which should still be
reasonably up to date:

Is there a flash/eMMC image for Android JB 4.2.2 available so that I do not have to build it myself but still will have Android flashed to the eMMC?

Many thanks.

Hello Robert sir,
Thanks for quick reply. Ubuntu is booting from eMMC because I am getting ssh access on my host PC. But display is not working. I am showing a splashscreen using fbi package and init.d script. Using serial debug port I found that fbi can be issue. But I am totally confused. Is there any solution or direction to solve this problem? Thanking you.

Hello,
Also through the serial debug port I observed the booting stuck at following line for 20 seconds,
Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2…

Hello,
I solved the above issue. Issue was in deferred_initcalls. Now I have succesfully installed my customized image on eMMC of BBB. Now I have a difficulty regrding eMMC. I want to ask, Can I partition NAND flash(eMMC) of BBB from SD-card??
Thanking you…
