There's a dependency problem in the startup where it runs opkg to update something (there's an SNNsomething start up script in /etc/init.d that's causing it). It makes it block for many minutes before it gives up and moves on. Best thing to do is to get a USB/Serial cable onto J1 and see what's going on. http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_Serial -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
