Hello all, I wanted to put Ubuntu on my beagleboard Rev C, and I followed the instructions here: https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBoard. I'm doing all this with a desktop running Ubuntu 14.04, on which I cross compile the kernel.
The instructions are quite good, and everything seemed was going as expected. I successfully compiled the 4.6 kernel without any errors. In the 'prepare SD card section', (https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBoard#BeagleBoard-SetupmicroSDcard) however, i noticed that the command given creates a /rootfs partition of just 1MB. The boot partition is 12MB, which seems ok. Naturally /rootfs was too small, so I created another 4GB ext4 partition, using that instead of the original 1MB partition. To account for this I changed the fstab, to mount the new rootfs (mmcblkp3) on /. Then, pressing down the user button, I powered up the Beagleboard. I get messages on the serial port, the last of which is "starting kernel..." - and nothing more. The full bootup message log is here: http://pastebin.com/raw/x1izWrk The log shows: Loaded environment from /boot/uEnv.txt Checking if uname_r is set in /boot/uEnv.txt... Running uname_boot ... loading /boot/vmlinuz-4.6.1-armv7-x4 ... which means the rootfs partition is being read properly, but how do I know the correct partition is being mounted? Also, I am puzzled by the total lack of messages after the last message, i.e. "Starting kernel" Thanks, -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
