BeagleBoard xM freezes while attempting to boot 10.10
 

Hi,
Please let me know if I have sent this to the wrong Ubuntu list.

Today I installed Maverick on a BeagleBoard xM-A2, following the instructions here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAPMaverickInstall

Since I am don't have a monitor with DVI-in, I adjusted the bootargs, as per:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/BeagleEditBootscr

This was done by following:

Strip the 72byte long uboot header:
dd if=boot.scr of=boot.script bs=1 skip=72

Open the file in an editor and edit the "setenv bootargs" line to add/remove bootoptions:
setenv bootargs vram=12M console=ttyS2,115200n8 serialtty=ttyS2 omapfb.mode=tv:pal root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 fixrtc

/usr/bin/mkimage -A arm -T script -C none -n "Ubuntu boot script" -d boot.script boot.scr #done as root on my fedora desktop

Then copied the newly created boot.scr file on my SD card replacing the existing one.

But when I tried to boot, with s-video connected to my pal-format tv, and with only the 5volt power and serial port connected. Both ways it freezes after minicom has displayed the following:

1. First attempt with svideo connected:

I also tried copying over the MLO and u-boot.bin from Angstrom image (the sd card that is shipped with beagle xm), which was suggested on a beagle howto site, but same freezing point was reached.

Open to suggestions to get this to boot! I have previously been able to boot and use the demo Angstrom iamge that came with the beagle, and minimal Ubuntu 10.10 from http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Maverick_10.10_2

Please file a bug on launchpad.net with the tag "armel" and subscribe
