HI thanks for the help I am new on Beagleboard
I want to test the latest Kernel from
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git
make -j5 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- omap2plus_defconfig
make -j5 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- uImage
boot args
setenv bootargs console=ttyO2,115200n8 noinitrd root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
rootfstype=ext2 rw rootdelay=1 nohz=off
it boots fine with the FS from google code
ALSA-FS.tar.gz Busy Box Filesystem with ALSA libraries
http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/downloads/list
but when i tried to boot with Angrstrom FS from
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/narcissus/
it hangs on
Starting Dropbear SSH server: dropbear.
Starting advanced power management daemon: No APM support in kernel
(failed.)
Starting syslogd/klogd: done
* Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon
...done.
INIT: Id "S" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
and nothing happen
Am I doing something wrong ?
Should I change something on the default configuration ??
I have tested the same set up with the uImage that comes with the tar
ball from Narccisus and it works perfect
Thanks a lot for your help

I don't use the specific binaries you are so what I'm about to suggest
is based on common knowledge of how these things work.
First, the make target you use is unfamiliar to me. So far I've only
used omap3_beagle_defconfig and omap3_defconfig. I'm using a C4 board.
It's possible the kernel you built is not appropriate for your board
because you used a configuration intended for a different board. It
won't hurt to try one of the ones I use, just to see if it helps.
INIT: Id "S" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
You can mount the image on a Linux box and look at etc/inittab for an
entry that has "S" in the first column. It should also have "respawn"
in the third field. Whatever that is trying to do is failing, but the
init process is trying to restart it repeatedly. It never gets past
that during the boot process so you never get a login prompt. You have
to figure out why it isn't working, and that could be for a lot of
reasons.
My complete guess here is that the single user mode boot script, which
probably runs before anything else, is dying and is causing init to be
run again (re: respawned). You'll have to look at that script and try
to figure out what its trying to do and why it is failing.
Also, the console may need to be on ttyS2 instead of ttyO2, but I
vaguely remember someone saying it changed from "S" to "O" recently. I
still use S2 and it works for me.
... >= 2.6.37 will need tty02 (unless the user goes out of their way
to patch it back..)
