Hi Mahammad,

I am currently using my 3.2 kernel with Debian but it is showing errors to boot with Ubuntu rootfs.
Can you please share with me the kernel you are using?

Hi Ali…

My kernel is a modified version of kernel 3.2 with ubuntu… (TI psp kernel). What do you want to know about it? What is your target?

Best Regards

Hi Mahammad,

I tried to boot TI 3.2 kernel with Ubuntu rootfs but it failed.
I am wondering if you can share the kernel you used.
Is it available somewhere online?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi Ali

My version is modified… not found online as is. But this webpage should guide you where to install the base:

[http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x-PSP_04.06.00.11_Release_Notes](http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x-PSP_04.06.00.11_Release_Notes)

It will not work on BBB and will not support eMMC, or HDMI.. and will hang on BBB as you mentioned; but it should work on the original BB (white). If you can provide more information what do you target I may be able to help you where to modify or even share my version with you if any useful to your target.

Best regards

Hi Mahammad,

Thanks for your reply.
My target is to run the 3.2 kernel with Ubuntu rootfs on the BBB.

Hi Ali

For kernel 3.2 with ubuntu on BBB please check this thread: http://beagleboard.org/Community/Forums?place=msg%2Fbeagleboard%2FY-rcKPITy0Q%2FcXJIpqppVcsJ

Xris posted his copy already to http://www.fileswap.com/dl/sdFGPZoIw6/

It is not related to my version… but it should cover your mentioned needs… here is a part of this message:

You should find yourself downloading bbb-ubuntu-12.04-for-community.xz

Just extract and write that to your SD card (4gb expected) with something like:

cat bbb-ubuntu-12.04-for-community.xz | xz -d > /dev/sdX

Note it’s a raw sector dump NOT a tarball, so extract straight to your SD card device. (eg. /dev/sdx, NOT /dev/sdx1)

Good luck Ali
