Hi, Please let me know if I have sent this to the wrong Ubuntu list. Today I installed Maverick on a BeagleBoard xM-A2, following the instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAPMaverickInstall
Since I am don't have a monitor with DVI-in, I adjusted the bootargs, as per: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/BeagleEditBootscr This was done by following: Strip the 72byte long uboot header: dd if=boot.scr of=boot.script bs=1 skip=72 Open the file in an editor and edit the "setenv bootargs" line to add/remove bootoptions: setenv bootargs vram=12M console=ttyS2,115200n8 serialtty=ttyS2 omapfb.mode=tv:pal root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 fixrtc /usr/bin/mkimage -A arm -T script -C none -n "Ubuntu boot script" -d boot.script boot.scr #done as root on my fedora desktop Then copied the newly created boot.scr file on my SD card replacing the existing one. But when I tried to boot, with s-video connected to my pal-format tv, and with only the 5volt power and serial port connected. Both ways it freezes after minicom has displayed the following: 1. First attempt with svideo connected: Starting kernel ... Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 /dev/mmcblk0p2: clean, 118171/446832 files, 533063/949843 blocks * Starting AppArmor profiles Skipping profile in /etc/apparmor.d/disable: usr.bix [ OK ] [ OK ]ting sensors limits speech-dispatcher disabled; edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned [ OK ]bling additional executable binary formats binfmt-support fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 /dev/mmcblk0p2: clean, 118171/446832 files, 533063/949843 blocks * Starting AppArmor profiles Skipping profile in /etc/apparmor.d/disable: usr.bix [ OK ] [ OK ]ting sensors limits speech-dispatcher disabled; edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned [ OK ]bling additional executable binary formats binfmt-support 2nd attempt with only serial and power connected: Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ...

Open to suggestions to get this to boot! I have previously been able to boot and use the demo Angstrom iamge that came with the beagle, and minimal Ubuntu 10.10 from http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Maverick_10.10_2 Brett. -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
