Problems with debial netinstall

Hi,

I have a xM and create a sd card according to this
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian
instruction with

./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdb --uboot beagle --distro squeeze --serial-mode

When I put the card into the BB, I see following output:

Hi Alex, ^ this doesn't quite look right.. What is the current git
checkout of your netinstall-omap.. ("git pull" to get the latest bits)

That error should have been fixed via:
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall-omap/commit/d339711d7ff23c5bbe3f21a5b9a716d4be41e4c1

since u-boot.bin already correctly init's the mmc card..

'git poll' says 'Already up-to-date.'. I did a fresh poll yesterday.

And I'm also very confused, since 'mmc init' does not appear in any file:

[netinstall-omap]# find ./ |xargs grep 'mmc init'

returns nothing. So I myself don't know where the usage text comes from.

But the mmc card still seems not inited:

That's really weird, I've attached what i get with my board, when i ran:

./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sde --uboot beagle --distro squeeze --serial-mode

Anything special with your board? is it regular xM A? What host os on
your pc? Stumped..

Robert, thanks for your support so far.
I already was afraid that I will come to this point.
Maybe it's something with the hardware (my board stopped working some day and I thought it's a broken mmc card, but maybe it's also a broken card reader?)

I have a Fedora 11 as host system (and therefore I was for example not able to install ubuntu on BB).
The board has printed 'xM', uBoot says 'Beagle xM Rev A'.

I will now dig down into the bootstrapping process more in detail
(even though I am an application developer - but this helps me probably to extend my skills profile :wink:

Again, thanks for your answers and eventually I'll come back later.

Alex.

I tested out Fedora 15 (and installed 11) today and saw no issues on
this machine with creating the mmc card thru virtualbox.

Can you share the script log. (basicly just copy what it dumps to the
terminal..)
