[Gumstix-users] Verdex-xm4 Stuck in autoboot - Help!

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hi all,

I could use some help.  This is the first time connecting to my gumstix and am having trouble with autoboot.  I have the verdex-xm4/robostix/netwifimicrosd stack.  Connectivity to the development PC is via the 4 Gumstix pins on the robostix and Acroname's TTL/RS232 Serial converter using cKermit.  Development PC is running the latest Debian distro.  I been working through the getting started guide and was working through the sequence of steps to set up a serial connection <http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Getting-started/Setting-up-a-serial-connection/111.html>. I tried powering down and rebooting several times--all with the same result.  For the output below I didn't let it loop forever but instead pulled it out of autoboot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I continue to let it run I see all sorts of odd characters goby and get the "Hit any key to stop autoboot" prompt every 30 secondsor so.  BTW - It would be nice if the developers put in a little moreeffort to reduce typos ;)  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian Joly
