How to root the PandaBoard ???

[TieMichael]

Hi,

after searching the web back and forth and still not finding answer, I want to ask the experts:

What I found and tried:

Changes in  init.rc:

1)

service console /system/bin/sh

    class core

    console

    disabled

    user root

    group root

2)

on post-fs

    mount rootfs rootfs / rw remount

I de-compiled and re-compiled the boot.img and testing (via 'adb pull /init.rc') confirms the changes are in. Everything is running as per normal.

After 'adb root' and 'adb remount' I have full root-access from a PC, so it seems like everything is ok.

Starting apps which require root-access, complain that no root-access is possible.

Installing SuperSu.apk tries to update a binary (/system/bin/su ?) - but fails.

Any idea, what is missing????

Thank you

Michael
