Hi,

Ditto for me. I started with 10.10 and did an upgrade to 11.04.

After fighting with following the Beagle elinux builds it was this that worked for me: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OmapNetbook

I downloaded that Win32ImageWriter and after a half an hour or so, I had a working SD that boots Ubuntu Natty 11.04 like a dream on Beagleboard Rev C2.

another question about installing ubuntu:

when i write: setenv bootcmd ‘mmc init;fatload mmc 0 0x82000000 boot.scr;source 0x82000000’;
i got error: Writing to Nand… done Usage: mmcinit - init mmc card ** Unable to use mmc 0:1 for fatload **

when i write: mmcinit instead of mmc init
i got error like that: Writing to Nand… done reading boot.scr ** Unable to read “boot.scr” from mmc 0:1 **

anyone has any suggestion?(U-Boot 2009.01-dirty (Feb 19 2009 - 12:22:31)) should i update u-boot

thanks…
