Hi everyone,
I've had to reformat my SD card and I have used the
BeagleBoardBeginners getting started guide http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardBeginners
.
I seem to create the partions ok, but when it comes to formatting the
ext3 partition the terminal just hang at a cartian point.
I did the following:
#sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdg2
The terminal just hangs at the point saying:
Creating journal (8192 blocks):
it doesn't seem to progress from there.
Has anyone else had the same issue?
Kind regards,
Rob
I am not sure about your problem, but another direction you could go
is using gparted. I used to follow the beginners guide to getting
Angstrom to work, but it takes a lot of time and using gparted
partitioning tool you can do it in a matter of seconds. Then all you
have to do is copy the MLO, U-bin, and Uimage file to the first
partition and copy the Angstrom to the second partition and untar it.
Thats what I have done and it has work pretty much every time.
hi, Hurdy
Format your SD card with HP format disk tool again, then retry follow the http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardBeginners,and see what happens.
Good luck to you.

Thank you both for your responses. When I get a few minutes I will
give what you suggest a go.
Thank you again,
Rob
