incredibly pedantic note here and not sure why i never noticed this before but i downloaded the current shipping BB-xM image as linked to from here:
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoard-xM created my micro SD card, my xM booted just fine, but when i went to display the kernel command line that had been used, this is what i saw: # cat /proc/cmdline omapdss.def_disp=dvi root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait # turns out that only the tail end of the actual kernel command line is displayed because the uEnv.txt file that was sourced contains <CR> characters at end of line which causes redraws of the poor command line so that only the last part shows. you can see this with: # less /proc/cmdline where the ^M characters show up that cause the annoyance. it's still parsed correctly by u-boot, it just reminds me to tell my students to not create their uEnv.txt file in a DOS editor. :-) rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
