Ubuntu on BeagleBoard-XM Rev C

Does anyone know how to get the Ubuntu Maveric image to work on the XM
rev C board.

I have an XM rev B board that works but, no luck with the XM Rev C.

I have some applications working on the XM Rev B board under Ubuntu
and I have acquired some newer XM Rev C boards.

I would like to move on to some other system software development
issues before I go back to building a leaner- meaner Linux for my
project.

Yeah, I'll be posting an image tomorrow that supports this at:

http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Demo_Image

The current images hosted there had one missing "C" in a patch so they
don't work, just found out on monday when i was testing...

2.6.38.4-x3+ or 2.6.39-rc4-d4+ from rcn-ee.net will support the C..

Will you please advise after you have posted the image?

Much appreciated,
Katelyn

I have just receive a Beagleboard xm rev c board and find some problem
while trying to install Ubuntu.

1. For the "Canonical Pre-Installed Images", followed with
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAPMaverickInstall:
                    10.10 never boot up
                    11.04 beta2 freeze on loading kernel...

2. For the "rcn-ee Pre-Installed Images", which was indicates at
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu,
both 10.10 and 11.04 beta
could boot into Ubuntu system correctly. But the network interface
can't bind DHCP to work. (no matter modify the /etc/network/interface
or not)
sudo ifconfig -a shows there is usb0 for network adapter on rev C
but sudo dhclient usb0 returns error about listening DHCP loopback.

3. Network interface usb0 works well in the pre-loaded Angstrom image
on the 4G sd card.

I'm going to test the new published Ubuntu 11.04 then.

Please be more specific and look as the file name, as i just fixed the
"xM C" this week (as i actually got one of the new C board'
s) and uploaded new images today..

ubuntu-11.04-r0-minimal-armel.tar.xz
ubuntu-10.10-r7-minimal-armel.tar.xz

If it's still not working, please paste a serial bootlog.

usb1 should be the smsc95xx..

The new released ubuntu demo image (ubuntu-11.04-r0-minimal-
armel.tar.xz) works well on Beagleboard xm rev c.
The one I have test and failed yesterday is actually ubuntu-10.10-r6-
minimal-armel.tar.xz

Thanks for your work
Sincerely,

(Ubuntu official pre-install image ubuntu-11.04-preinstalled-netbook-
armel+omap.img.gz stacks at kernel loading.
Ubuntu official pre-install image ubuntu-11.04-preinstalled-headless-
armel+omap.img.gz could boot well, but can't detect usb0 and usb1 on
bb xm rev c.)
