help needed with xM Rev A

Hi, I'm new to beagleboard..
Just bought an xM Rev A and it comes with a mini SD (working).
Unfortunately, trying to install different images to get angstrom
+GNOME (never succeeded), i wrote saveenv after setting bootargs and
bootcmd.
Now the board doesn't boot even with the original sd..

What is the way to get it back to original settings?

Thanks,
Marco

On the XM 'saveenv' saves your settings to the (UNSUPPORTED) nand.

So at the OMAP3 prompt just type 'nand erase' - then you will boot up
at originally next time.

Thank you very much for your answers!
The "nand erase" worked.. please forgive me there were already tons of
answers to my question in this group, i will search better in future!

I've got other 2 questions for you:
1) Shoud the online builder ( http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/narcissus/
) for beagleboard work with the beagleboard xm?
2) If not, how to get gnome on xm?

It is best to start new questions on a new thread and to have an
appropriate subject line.

1) Shoud the online builder ( http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/narcissus/

It does.

2) If not, how to get gnome on xm?

You can get it from Angstrom (via either Narcissus or directly with
bitbake), Ubuntu, and probably Gentoo and others.
