Hello Folks,
This is my first post to the group. I'm building my own images using OE and I've had great success thus far (Thanks to the community for getting this working so well!). I'm looking for a way to "help out" with the beagleboard and I thought I might start with a problem that I've been having with my setup.
I'm building OE, using angstrom 2008 and console-image. I get a bootable setup but on startup I always see a stream of errors about SD card access. I'm using a new 4GB SDHC card and it works, BUT I just wanted to run down all the error messages:
Waiting 2sec before mounting root device...
mmc0: host does not support reading read-only switch. assuming write-enable.
mmc0: new SDHC card at address d555

uname -a says this:

I'm comfortable programming / kernel hacking, etc. (but not that familiar within the OE environment, yet!) and would like to coordinate with folks to try and help so I thought I'd start here. I have the same errors on several other 4GB and 2GB cards.
It might just be a stupid error, but I'd like to run it to ground. I've updated to the very latest org.openembedded.dev monotone database and I'll be doing a re-build tonight of a slightly more comprehensive setup (x11 based).
-Sincerely,
Todd Pack
P.S. - I'd also like to report to folks that I bought and tried the TrendNet TU2-ET100 USB/Ethernet adapter and it worked instantly on a powered hub attached to by beagleboard (once I told the OTG to become a host). However, it seemed to "disconnect" from the hub every 15 minutes or so for some reason. In case you too were looking for a good way to get Ethernet into your beagleboard...
