Peter, That looks to be broken at the moment. Look in: meta-ti/recipies-misc/images/ti-hw-bringup-image.bb You'll see at the bottom, this comment: # This doesn't work with the current genext2fs in oe-core # inherit sdcard_image I suspect they were using that for bringup work but it broke.
Either way, it seems the most reliable option for me is using ext3 as the rootfstype. Using ext4 is just too flaky.
Interesting to note that in the TI Sitara repository, the script that creates the sdcard (bin/create-sdcard.sh) it formats the sdcard for ext3. They use the same syntax I use, /sbin/mkfs.ext3 -L LINUX /dev/sdx (where x represents that proper device).
That create-sdcard.sh script is the only one I've used that creates one perfectly. I use one of the scripts that Koen posted on his blog for my Angstrom images (I think), but since I don't have kde/qt installed, so kpartx (I use fdisk), so I just partition and format by hand and have been using +50M for my BOOT and the rest for LINUX (rootfs). I create the partition, set it for type 'c', and toggle the boot flag on that partition.
I haven't seen that problem with the permissions when trying to log in where it can't create the session, since I went back to ext3.
