Hi,
Pandaboard ES N00b here. Just got my board couple days ago and am
trying to boot the board up with 5V5A power supply with a Transcent
Class 10 8Gb SD card. Followed the steps from the troubleshoot page
and flashed the validation image to my SD card and only the STATUS 2
LED turns on for a second then turned off. Tried using another image
"Geexbox for Panda" on the same SD card and the STATUS 2 LED blink for
couple seconds then turns off.
Nothing shows up in minicom.
Can someone please tell me what I would be doing wrong? Is it
necessary to have keyboard and mouse connected before booting the
device?
Even I having the same problem, I loaded my SD(class 4, ScanDiskl)
card with L27.12.1-P2-pandroid_v2 images, No console messages on
cutecom, The same SD booted fine on Pandaboard REV A3
Thanks,
Vamshi

With that one you shall have activities on the minicom, but you will need screen / mouse /keyboard for the installation. Then you will be able to click on TI Addons button that will provide you a kernel fully supporting Panda ES

Which instruction have you followed exactly? Are you facing this issue at first boot or after OMAP AddOns installation? It looks like your boot partition is having a problem. Can you mount your boot partition and then perform a " cksum" on all files. Can you also send the " strings boot.scr" output?

As the Ubuntu-arm QA guy, I can tell you that 11.10 is not guaranteed
to work on the ES (board shipped after software freeze). I would
recommend 12.04, at least Alpha 2 (Beta 1 release is next week).

The 11.10 image seems to be correctly flashed. I tried 12.04 Beta image on my PandaES today and it works fine on my side. Can you please try it? If then you need to work with 11.10, you might try to re-use MLO / u-boot from 12.04 image before to boot.

I have brand new Pandaboard ES Rev B1. I tried loading both Ubuntu pre-
installed 11.10 and 12.04 server per the instructions. Both not able
to boot successfully.
Keeps printing on the console and LED2 flashing --

I had similar situation (pandaboard ES not progressing boot sequence past U-Boot SPL and TI OMAP4460 ES1.1) Now problem is resolved once I got new power adapter (5VDC/4A) from Digi-key. My original power adapter was rated for 2A. With 4A adapter pandaboard ES boot successfully and loaded Ubuntu 11.10.

This topic has been a great help to me for several reasons. I learned
the following:
1) desktop ubuntu images don't write anything to serial terminal (this
has cost me DAYS of flashing and reflashing sdcards)
2) older OSs will not boot on my Pandaboard ES
3) I need the 'armhf' for better speed.

That would have been a really nice thing to know before Digikey
shipped us a box of them to upgrade the next batch.
After I calm down a bit I will see if others in my group think this is
a deal killer for investment in this product at this time.
Still, I am glad many you are willing to take the effort to advance
such things.
And not only will the desktop image not boot, but the validation image
runs poorly as well (led #2 does not run, drive test seems incorrect)
so watch out for that.
