So ...
I did some more testing and got a uSD card to boot. There seems to be about a ten second pause after the last message and then it boots normally. I typed dmesg on a working image and found this: [ 3.578862] init: ureadahead main process (85) terminated with status 5 [ 4.355140] udevd[142]: starting version 175 [ 6.738642] net eth0: initializing cpsw version 1.12 (0) [ 6.741130] net eth0: phy found : id is : 0x7c0f1 [ 6.741156] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 6.746262] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 [ 6.765369] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 7.815507] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): re-mounted.

I Googled the message, but couldn't find any hits in English L Plenty in French and German. Can anybody help here ??

Is there any way I can get a log of what happens when it hangs at the [ 12.231143] point ? Obviously dmesg won't work L Thanks; Bill "No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little."
