prebuild RN debian stable won't boot

[niko....@gmail.com]

Hi there

I just tried to install Debian wheezy from Robert Nelson as described here:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#Debian_Stable_.28wheezy.29

i.e.:

wget https://rcn-ee.net/deb/rootfs/wheezy/debian-7.5-console-armhf-2014-07-06.tar.xz
sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb beaglebone

However the SD card won't boot. All I get is three constantly ignited LEDs.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
N

Did you hold down the "boot" button?

You could also download the git version of "setup_sdcard.sh" and use
the "--bbb-old-bootloader-in-emmc"

rm setup_sdcard.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RobertCNelson/omap-image-builder/master/tools/setup_sdcard.sh
chmod +x setup_sdcard.sh

Hey Robert!

Quick as ever!! Yes, that solved my problem.
Dammit - usually I don't have to press the boot button - before it booted from the card right away.

Thank you very much!

Yeah, i got a little to creative with the bootloader..

So things down the road will be way easier. You can easily switch
between bb.org/debian/ubuntu/fedora/etc kernels'. ;)

The first month or so of the transition will just be the worst..

:) Is there a way to have SDcard boot as default again?

Awesome image by the way!

It does... Once you update the bootloader in the eMMC..
