Hi all:
I have tried to run a Ubuntu distribution at BeagleBoard-XM RevB. I
followed instructions shown at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAPHeadlessInstall linked from
BeagleBoardUbuntu - eLinux.org ARM/OMAP - Ubuntu Wiki
(4 Canonical Pre-Installed Images 4.1 Natty 11.04).But it dosen't
work, some problems exist.
I made the SD card an the following steps：
1 I have an 8GB SD card
2 I download ubuntu-11.04-preinstalled-headless-armel+omap.img.gz from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/
3 I run the following command to copy the image to the SD card:
gunzip -c ubuntu-11.04-preinstalled-headless-armel+<omap
.img.gz | sudo dd bs=4M of=/dev/<device name>
sync
4 Update for BeagleXM Rev B & Rev C
(1)Download http://people.canonical.com/~tobin/natty/beagleXM-natty.tgz
(2)Untar with "tar -zxf beagleXM-natty.tgz
(3)Mount the first SD card partition at your host PC and copy uImage
to it. Unmount
(4)Mount the second SD card partition at your host PC and copy
vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-omap to <mountpoint>/boot. Unmount
At last ,I switch on the board with the SD card inserted. Here is the
output of the serial:

I have tried many times and different images ,such as ubuntu-11.04-
preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap.img.gz
and ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap.img.gz. None
of them succeeded, have you run to
the same problem.What can I do to solve the problem, any suggestion?
I appreciate your time and concern very much．
Best regards\!
Sincerely
Ying Cui\.
