p.s. is it safe to format the second partition as ext3? or
should i be using ext2 instead?
it'll *work* but the extra writes will wear out your card much
faster so best avoided.
i suspected as much, so it's nice to have that clarified. but
is it possible that ext3 journalling is causing some of those I/O
errors you can see in my posted first-time boot output?
If you actually look at the I/O errors, you'll see that their are
from the mtdblock devices, not the SD card. It has been posted on
the beagleboard list numerous times before that that's due to linux
not getting the 'hwecc' format the x-load partition is written as
(it needs to be in 'hwecc' due to a limitation in the omap3
bootrom).
ah, thanks for clearing that up. but there are still a number of
other diagnostics (again, admittedly, non-fatal) that clutter up the
(first-time) boot output. do any of those disappear with a newer
build? i'm just a big fan of pretty boot output. :-)
Try building an image with narcissus and see :)

Koen
