HI, Nelson:
Thanks it works now after my full bzr sync. (I don't know why I hit
weird faiure yesterday)

When I i want to build and OS image using my newly build kernel .deb
file, I simply add my deb file name after --kernel-image.

sudo rootstock --fqdn beagleboard --login ubuntu --password temppwd --
imagesize 2G \
--seed wget,nano,linux-firmware,wireless-tools,usbutils --dist karmic
--serial ttyS2 \
--kernel-image /home/user/linux-image-2.6.31.6-
x6.0_1.0karmic_armel.deb

I found it stopped at downloading kernel image from external site.
Could you guide me how to specify local kernel image?

Thanks!

rootstock uses's wget to download the *.deb file.

So install apache, copy the deb to /var/www then add your ip
address... --kernel-image http://127.0.0.1/linux-image-***.deb

Hi, Nelson:
Thanks! I can build kernel and generate OS rootfs via rootstock now,
following your guide!

While newly made OS image hit the error when booting:
[ 38.077331] Freeing init memory: 180K
[ 38.081207] kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
[ 41.667724] Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch
(0x1018) at 0x40340000

Did you hit similar issue before?

Thanks!

It's an annoying message but normal with karmic, never looked into it,
as it doesn't really seem effect anything.

If you've fixed everything I mention here:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Karmic:_.289.10.29_boot_fixup

You should be looking at a command prompt on both your serial port and
hdmi connected monitor...

Yes, I followed 9.10 boot fix every time.
Good news is : Now I re-formatted my SD card, it seems everything is
ok now. It might caused by my SD card issue.
Thank you Nelson for your patient help!!

Hello Robert,
I’m getting the error
Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1018) at 0x40340000

and Beagle just halts, it doesn’t go further. Nothing happens on serial console or on DVI output.

I’m now trying to reformat my SD card again and start all over.
I have applied all changes on :http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Karmic:_.289.10.29_boot_fixup
but it won’t work.

BTW: I’m using U-Boot 2009.08 (Oct 20 2009 - 13:09:07)

I have the installation working on other SD card.

Any ideas how to recover from this error?

Hello,

Hello Robert,

This error message is annoying, but it doesn't seem to effect anything...

and Beagle just halts, it doesn't go further. Nothing happens on serial
console or on DVI output.

Couple things, what bootargs did you use? (either saved in nand or via
a boot.scr file, they work the same)

reference:
console=ttyS2,115200n8 -> serial port setting
console=tty0 -> dvi output...

If you used rootstock, did you use this option: "--serial ttyS2"? The
demo images have that enabled.. Otherwise the serial port will stop
printing message at about that location...

I'm now trying to reformat my SD card again and start all over.
I have applied all changes on
:BeagleBoardUbuntu - eLinux.org

Recheck your /etc/fstab change as that is essential with karmic,
without it mountall will just stop similar to what it sounds like your
seeing...

The /etc/e2fsck.conf change only fixes the constant (boot, fsck, &
reboot) repeat for ever on devices with no battery backed rtc. (the
util-linux-ng guys seem to think this okay as they consider it
defective hardware, in the debian bug reports. Looks like it might
finally get fixed..)
