OK, first time tells me...

The first step/ best advice I can give is to have you start with a pre built image.

With that in hand and working you can see exactly what file goes where.

Then making backups, replace parts with your own hand crafted objects.

Hi,
It's the first time I use pandaboard ES and I'm trying to build the kernel myself.

I followed the instruction: http://omappedia.org/wiki/4AI.1.4_OMAP4_Icecream_Sandwich_Panda_Notes
and come to the part "Flashing the OMAP4 Hardware".

I've formated the SD card (following the instruction : http://omappedia.org/wiki/Android_Build_SD_Configuration) and put MLO and u-boot.bin on the boot partition, insert the card and power the board.

The following message shown on minicom

I've try to put the files above on the other partition, but same message appear.

How can I boot the pandaboard using those files I compiled?
Thanks a lot.
