Then I copied MLO, u-boot.bin, x-load.bin.ift and uImage to the FAT32
partition; copied and extracted Angstrom..bz2 and modules...tgz to the
ext3 partition.
When power up, the terminal stopped at "I2C ready". The following is
the complete terminal log
I have faced a similar problem (Log below). But I dont get the
"Invalid FAT entry". So I assume that my boot (VFAT) partition is not
corrupt. Could anybody throw some light on this as how to come out of
this issue.
I tried the instructions in Chapter 12 of the BeagleBoard System
Reference Manual and http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleboardRevCValidation,
and they are confusing, because they are full of exceptions for
different versions of the board and are incomplete and difficult to
follow. All attempts to find and use the HP SD flash formatter
programs that run on Windows failed. All attempts to determine
exactly which files go into which partitions and why led only to
frustration and doubt.
One main difference between the instructions that work and the ones
that don't is: you only need MLO, u-boot.bin, and uImage in the first
partition of the SD flash. And, yes, uImage must be in the first
partition, even though it is extracted from the tar-ball and put in
the second SD flash partition along with the root file system.
