Angstrom Linux

Booting Angstrom Linux on the Beagleboard



My Rev C4 has problems with the regular u-boot, this should be used instead: http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/downloads/detail?name=u-boot-revc4.bin&can=2&q=


TEST:
dd angstrom bz2 img for boot partition

trying manual format of angstrom partition

this rules: http://beagleboard.org/demo/angstrom/

if SD card is readonly filesystem after mkfs.ext3, sudo su, then chown mounted folder (Angstrom) to user,
copy tar.bz2 directly to SD, then untar. (this is wrong!)

new ubuntu is shit! use "vintage" distro to copy files to not get readonly file system
