Hi,
I have booted panda board using 11.05 natty release of ubuntu. It worked great.
Now, I am trying to compile the kernel myself. I am using the sources from tarball provided on 11.05 release page as well as from linaro git 2.6.38 tree.
I have extracted the .config from running ubuntu(of 11.05 LEB) and using it to compile my own kernels. Then I am just replacing the uImage on sdcard(generated using 11.05 LEB) by my compiled kernel.
Boot process goes fine till the init process but then it fails to bring on the graphics and goes to console mode.
Any help on this?
You may want to install modules on the SD card too:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/media/rootfs modules_install
You'll also need to create an initramfs. Take a look at this wiki page for detailed instructions:
Note that this will only work if the bus, storage and filesystem drivers for your root fs are built into the kernel.
If those drivers are built in, you can actually get away with never regenerating the initramfs, if you're feeling lazy.
