Hi,
Today I try to install Fedora 12 ARM on my Beagleboard xM, I
follow the guide in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/BeagleBoardxMSDCard
step by step. Everythings looks OK.
But when I boot the board, it still boot into the orginal
angstrom, the boot.scr likes not working. Could you please help me
to let it work? Thanks.
Best Regards,
David

Hi,
I'm forwarding this message to the fedora ARM mailing list, as it's
better to ask there than to contact me directly.
Are you using a recent version of u-boot.bin? Have you manually
changed any of the u-boot environment variables at any point?
I didn't write the section of the tutorial concerning the boot.scr
file. I'm not too familiar with how u-boot works, but I can say that
the process worked for me on the two fresh out-of-the-box beagleboard
xms i've tried it on.

Incidentally, I had modified some of the default u-boot environment
variables to the point where boot.scr wasn't working for me on one of
the BeagleBoards I've been working with. To fix it, I restored the
bootcmd environment variable to the default value it shipped with:
setenv bootcmd "if mmc init ${mmcdev}; then if userbutton; then setenv
bootscr user.scr; if run loadbootscript; then run bootscript; else if
run loaduimage; then if run loadramdisk; then run ramboot; else run
mmcboot; fi; fi; fi; else setenv bootscr boot.scr; if run
loadbootscript; then run bootscript; else if run loaduimage; then run
mmcboot; else run nandboot; fi; fi; fi; else run nandboot; fi"
saveenv
As long as you didn't touch any of the rest of the environment
variables, this should load the boot.scr file and execute what's inside
of it.
