Hello everynone,
I am a newcomer to the BeagleBoard community and have just been
playing
with a C3 board in the recent weeks. I have successfully repeated many
of
the first steps (mainly using Angstrom) by following the several wikis
available. Now I am having some problems to install custom Angstrom
images and I would really appreciate your help to shed some light on
them.
I generated without any problems custom Angstrom images using
Narcissus. I download them (using wget), uncompressed them and
extracted
them to the ext3 partition (called /LINUX) of my SD card. Then copied
the
uImage file in /LINUX/boot/ to the fat32 /BOOT partition. Plug the
card
into the BB and then power it up. However these images do not boot
properly nor let me log into the system.
The first thing I noticed is that when I generate the image with
Narcissus it provides a current uncompressed image size of certain
size
(usually around 1GB) and when I download the .bz2 and uncompress it I
obtain "trailing garbage after EOF ignored" and I end up with a .tar
whose size is about half the expected (~ 500MB). This is the output I
get:
/tmp > bunzip2 random-68b5f1ec-image-beagleboard.tar.bz2
bunzip2: random-68b5f1ec-image-beagleboard.tar.bz2: trailing garbage
after EOF ignored
I thought the file was corrupted during download, but after
re-downloading it, again the same problem. It has happened already
with
two different images. I would do an md5sum check, but I haven't seen
Narcissus provide that information.
I ignored this and tried to see if the image works and proceeded to
install it as mentioned above, it seems to boot with some error
messages, I even see the BeagleBoard banner on the upper left corner
of
the screen. Below I pasted a copy of the entire serial console output,
so you can have a more precise idea of my problem.
I think I am very probably doing something wrong, but I looked in the
GoogleGroup messages and couldn't find any record of a similar
problem.
Thanks a lot for your help and advice!
Best,
Miguel
