Hi guys, after some days reading some tutorials around the web, i was
finally able to boot the angstrom linux distro coming with my new
beagleboard xm!
I played with the desktop a little bit, then i decided to plug in my
320GB HD into the USB host in order to see if i was able to play
music, watch videos or pictures, but an error came along saying that
something went wrong when it tried to mount the filesystem. My HD has
a NTFS filesystem. Any problems with HD with this dimension or
filesystem, or am I doing something wrong ?!?!
Another question: Now I'm using the DVI plug connected to a display.
Is there any possibility to use the s-video connecting the video !?? I
suppose i need to change somtething in the boot configuration: some
hints ?!?
Hi, thanks to the reply. Below you'll find what's going on while the
BB is booting (the HD is already plugged in). I'm powering the board
with a 5V external power supply.

It's looks like the BB search for a FAT filesystem only and do not for
NTFS filesystem (My HD is 320GB with NTFS single partition).
Do you think i should format my HD with FAT ?!?

Not sure why but it is possible that recreating the partition table
would fix your issues. NTFS as you pointed, is a regular filesystem so
I don't this is beagleboard specific problem.
It seems that the VFS thinks the parition table is the superblock
itself and is treating "sda" as the filesystem. As a result, it cannot
identify the signature of the FS.
