I built the demo image for Beagleboard xM using the instructions on
webpage "http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/
BeagleBoardDiagnosticsNext" and it shows very slow start up (~2 hours)
when I plug in the SD card very first time and after that is comes
fine every time. Although I don’t have this issue with the demo image
I downloaded from the web and put on the SD card.
I am very new to this platform, have any body face the same issue? Any
solution?
Regards,
Amit
YOU ARE VERY PATIENT! I would not wait 20 minutes, you could stand 2 hours! :))))

I built the demo image for Beagleboard xM using the instructions on
webpage "http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/
BeagleBoardDiagnosticsNext" and it shows very slow start up (~2 hours)
when I plug in the SD card very first time and after that is comes
fine every time.
Ȧngström has to configure the system on the very first installation.
Depending on how much software you have selected, I am guessing it takes
some time. Two hours are very long though.
Is there a certain task taking that much time?
I have never used the BeagleBoardDiagnosticsNext image. Maybe there is
an error or the diagnosis takes so long?
Although I don’t have this issue with the demo image
I downloaded from the web and put on the SD card.
I guess the configuration has already been done for these images.

Thanks,
Paul

It depends on the speed of the SD card used. With all sandisk cards on my desk it takes 10-15 minutes, with kingston cards (the ones that amazon sells for next to nothing) it takes close to two hours.
The card that comes with the xM isn't a speed daemon either since it needed to be cheap enough to get included. The plan is to make "preconfigured" images available in the future.
regards,
Koen
Koen,
Thanks for sharing this info, and data is also matching as I am also using Kingston SD card. I will try with higher speed SD card. But still 10-15 minutes are too high.
Can you please guide how to make "preconfigured" image.
Regards,
Amit
What do you expect from ARM system? Want to get the speed - use x86 with huge heatsink 
2010/10/21 Mittal, Amit <amit.mittal@ti.com>
Dear Amit,
please do not top post.
I unplugged my C4 from USB Hub and waited 10 minutes and got a real nice GUI olnn DVI
Plugging in hub it kernel panicks I am NOT using external power supply
Any help appreciated

Which USB port are you using?
Gerald
This is a FAQ that we really should address better. There were changes in the Linux kernel that resulted in the musb interrupt not being plugged if you didn’t load a gadget driver. Use a kernel with a gadget driver compiled in or load a gadget driver kernel module before connecting the usb port in device mode.
Short answer, pull down the kernel with ‘gether’ in the name from www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard
Apologies for the top post. My BlackBerry won’t do it any other way.
I plug the POWERED hub into the USB host on BB
the HUB has keyboard,mouse and usb->ethernet plugged in
I power the board with the mini USB OTG port
if I power up with hub plugged into HOST port I kernel panick before the Matrix Application launcher appears on my DVI monitor
That's a known issue ^^^ use the 5volt dc connector for power on the beagle...
Regards,
The current demo images gags an barfs on OTG being connected. Do as Robert suggests and use DC power.

Quoting from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/:
"NOTE: Use external 5V supply and remove all USB connections from the Beagleboard when booting for the first time. Try USB later once you know it works."
and
"What If...
Some common problems and their fixes
• The kernel panics at random points during start-up.
Either use the 5V external power supply or use one of the multi-config-cpudile kernels. Sometimes the current via USB is not enough, but the cpuidle kernel should help with that. That comes at the cost of garbled characters on the serial console when it goes into a lower power mode.
• Even with the 5V supply the kernel panics during start-up.
Ensure that you copied the uImage file from the Angstrom filesystem into the boot partition. Compare md5 checksums to be sure.
• USB Ethernet doesn't work at startup.
The culprit is the composite USB gadget driver. In etc/default/usb-gadget set USB_MODE='networking' and run the module reconfiguration script (name?)."

There were changes in the Linux kernel that resulted in the musb interrupt not being plugged if you didn't load a gadget driver. Use a kernel with a gadget driver compiled in or load a gadget driver kernel module before connecting the usb port in device mode.
Short answer, pull down the kernel with 'gether' in the name from www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard
I'm getting bugged about this enough that it is embarrassing. I'm
trying to get some folks to try out the instructions on
http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleBoardDiagnosticsNext
with a C4 board to tell me how it works (where I expect it to fail
with the ramdisk). Once it is debugged, relative to u-boot at least,
on the C4 board, then I'll release a new diagnostics image with the
gether driver built-in. I want to minimize the churn.
I built the demo image for Beagleboard xM using the instructions on
webpage "http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/
BeagleBoardDiagnosticsNext" and it shows very slow start up (~2 hours)
when I plug in the SD card very first time and after that is comes
fine every time.Ȧngström has to configure the system on the very first installation.
Depending on how much software you have selected, I am guessing it takes
some time. Two hours are very long though.Is there a certain task taking that much time?
I have never used the BeagleBoardDiagnosticsNext image. Maybe there is
an error or the diagnosis takes so long?Although I don’t have this issue with the demo image
I downloaded from the web and put on the SD card.I guess the configuration has already been done for these images.
There is a listing of images built on that day at:

This version of the image before it was configured is at:

The image after it was configured is at:

Koen,
Thanks for sharing this info, and data is also matching as I am also using Kingston SD card. I will try with higher speed SD card. But still 10-15 minutes are too high.
Can you please guide how to make "preconfigured" image.
I simply performed a 'dd' after booting the image for the first time.
