Problems with Ubuntu rootstock

GoogleGroups

I am trying to create an Ubuntu image on an 8GB SD-HC card for my recently acquired BeagleBoard (RevC). I’ve tried to run rootstock several times, but it only builds the rootfs, but not vmlinuz.

Most recently, I followed the README file’s instruction, calling:
sudo ./rootstock --fqdn beaglebot --login bioloid --password abc123 --imagesize 2G --seed xubuntu-desktop

Included is the most recent log file.

Any assistance is highly appreciated!!

P.S. If you require any more information, please feel free to ask! So far nothing on the board itself has changed.

Hi, Robert
I'm trying to run rootstock command

sudo rootstock --fqdn beagleboard --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --
imagesize 2G --seed xserver-xorg-video-omap3,bridge-utils,nano,linux-
firmware,wireless-tools,usbutils,ffmpeg,gdm,xubuntu-desktop --dist
karmic --serial ttyS2 --kernel-image
http://rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/beagle/karmic/v2.6.32.6-x6.0/linux-image-2.6.32.6-x6.0_1.0karmic_armel.deb

But after retrieving and validating packages it gives out error

chroot: cannot run command `debootstrap/debootstrap': Exec format
error

I: First stage install done
I: Downloading kernel image (deb) from external site
I: linux-image-2.6.32.6-x6.0_1.0karmic_armel.deb download complete

I have installed debootstrap with sudo apt-get install debootstrap

I'm using Ubuntu Karmic.

Hello,

chroot: cannot run command `debootstrap/debootstrap': Exec format
error

That's definitely not normal...

I: First stage install done
I: Downloading kernel image (deb) from external site
I: linux-image-2.6.32.6-x6.0_1.0karmic_armel.deb download complete
I: Setting up serial tty in image

mount: mount point /dev/pts does not exist
E: Second stage build in Virtual Machine failed !
E: Please see the log to see what went wrong.

could you pastebin (might be too big) or upload this log file.. don't
attach it to this mailing list as the rootstock logs can be quite
large...

I have installed debootstrap with sudo apt-get install debootstrap

I'm using Ubuntu Karmic.

That's what i used when i built mine.....
