Thanks Neil, you were right. Brad's tip about the USB cable being standard led me to find a digital camera cable that did the trick, and I was able to see the console output of all the initialization during first boot. It took about 5-10 minutes to setup, but now it boots more quickly. It's strange that the screen went black (via HDMI) during the pause, but I'm guessing that's power-saving mode or something. Good to go now, thanks! - Vance > Message: 1 > Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2011 20:44:39 -0700 > From: Brad Midgley <bmi...@gm...> > Subject: Re: [Gumstix-users] Earth freezes at loading screen > To: "General mailing list for gumstix users." > <gum...@li...> > Message-ID: > <AANLkTi=1brFmp1wScUXC=cRr...@ma...> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > +1 for the subject line.
