[opensuse-arm] BeagleBone A6 (AKA BeagleBone White) does not boot.
Has anybody booted the JeOS...33.3 image on either a BBB or BBW? When I attempt to boot the opensuse 13.2 JeOS...33.3 image on a BeagleBone White, the kernel gets through boot, but then fails to exec init, et. al. After some tweaking of kernel command line parameters, I managed to get the the shell in the initrd. Nearly none of the commands worked as many of the libraries reported they were not compatible with the processor. This is for a work project where we pulled the A6 rev board off a shelf. Since I ran into the troubles, and due to the plan for this project to be BeagleBone Black based, I have ordered a BBB which should arrive today or tomorrow.

That sounds very strange - according to the internet, the BBW has almost the same core as the BBB. Maybe you're running into memory constraints?

I haven't actually held BBWs in my own hands at all so far, so I really have no idea whether they may or may not work. As far as the BBB goes, I did deploy a working image on one maybe 2 months ago, but I can't guarantee that the latest also works. However not much should've changed since then on 13.2. I'd say once it arrives, give it a try and if that one also fails, let's try to get to the bottom of it.

Thank you, Robin Holt
I've just checked 33.4 image with my BeagleBone BLACK, and found it working. As far as I remember BeagleBone White has 256MB RAM. Am I correct? If so, you probably run into lack of memory. 13.2 JeOSes can not boot on 256MB RAM boards. Firstboot initrd requires way more RAM. I faced the same issue when tried to run openSUSE on Phytec Wega board. However, initial initrd size has been reduced much but not enough in 13.3 (Factory) and also early swap activation has been introduced in kiwi init routines. What I can advice to you is to try openSUSE Factory image with the following trick: interrupt u-boot, and type the following commands: setenv append "rootfstype=ramfs" boot One the second boot you won't need this command. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
