Problems with Angstrom on BeagleBoard-XM

GoogleGroups

The angstrom image that shipped with the BB-XM works flawlessly. But
it is ram based.

So I go to Narcissus on www.angstrom-distribution.org/narcissus/ to
build a image. The image I build is: BeagleBoard-Simple-Console.

After a valid build I load the image and rootfs with the files and try
to boot. It appears to colapse at "udev" and it is very, very
inconsistent. Boot 10 times and it fails 10 different ways.

After I login and run "opkg update" it will start and download one or
two then lock up. I get a lot of "Segmentation failure" errors. Most
of the time I will get an ipaddress, some of the time I won't.

Maybe I need to issue some commands to U-Boot, but I have no idea on
what those should be.

Here is one example of a boot sequence:

Please help.

Hey.

I got my Beagleboard XM working yesterday with Ångstrom narcissus
image.

You seem to have this error on the log:
** Unable to read "boot.scr" from mmc 1:1 **

So copy from your installed partition rootfs (sdb2) folder /boot/u-
boot-scripts file called u-boot-beagleboard???.scr to your boot
partition (sdb1) and rename the file as boot.scr
(the previous path/filename are from my memory)
Then try rebooting.

And what power source do you have? When I connected BeagleBoard xm to
my laptop with USB OTG port the Linux boot halts and reboots every
time. So be sure that you have proper power source.
