hey guys, i am currently trying to boot my gumstix of a micro sd card in the netwifi stix. I looked at this tutorial: http://www.gumstix.net/User/view/User-how-to-s/Booting-from-microSD/SD/MMC/110.htmland i also read this section here: http://www.nabble.com/Booting-from-MMC-(Micro-SD)-using-OE-builds-td17420354.html, but right now i stil dont understand what exactly i need to copy over. i tried going with tmp/deploy/glibc/images/gumstix-custom-verdex/Angstrom-gumstix-custom-image-glibc-ipk-2007.9-test-20080920-gumstix-custom-verdex.rootfs.tar.gz on the ext2 partition and deploy/glibc/images/gumstix-custom-verdex/uImage-2.6.21-r1-gumstix-custom-verdex.bin as uimage on the fat16 partition. i also used the default factory.script. what am i missing out on? also for the wifi, i got the wifi led to blink for a bit, but then it died again, any idea of why?? thanks a lot, Nils |

I don't have access to an SD reader so I boot the gumstix from flash and untar via ssh... http://www.klc.net.nz/linux/?p=12 Terry |

yes, i did untar said file. UPDATE: I finally got it to boot up to some extend, the blue wifi led was flashing for a bit. dont know what did the trick, but somewhere between the reformat and copy files over again did it work. Still having issues establishing a wifi connection, but i am getting somewhere :) Nils On Saturday 20 September 2008 15:11:23 Terry Kemp wrote: > On Sat, 2008-09-20 at 14:32 -0500, Nils wrote: > > hey guys, i am currently trying to boot my gumstix of a micro sd card > > in the netwifi stix.
