[Gumstix-users] weird booting problem with verdex + robostix + wifi

[Annie L. <pin...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm having a weird booting problem with the verdex+robostix+wifi
setup. When ttyS0 (console) is connected (through kermit terminal).
Everything boots perfectly fine with wireless and I can ssh into it
later. But if I power on the board without the serial port, after
waiting for much longer than its usual boot up time, the blue LED on
the wifi board that indicates network connectivity doesn't light up
and I can't ssh into it. At this point, if I connect the serial port
again, sometimes I get prompt from u-boot (GUM>) and if I type the
command "reset", it boots normally again (with the serial port still
plugged in). But most of time, I get nothing and have to power it down
directly. I also tried booting with ethernet cable plugged in without
the serial port, same thing happens. Does anyone know what might be
the problem?

Thank you very much!

Annie
