--Boundary_(ID_yv9ZKiY5e2WKCvCtqLeo9Q) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Yep I ran into the same issue on that thread, using the generic-pc-serial image would not boot it would just hang, I switched to the generic-pc image and it works fine, any ideas as to why it works with some people and not others? Thread http://forum.m0n0.ch/index.php/topic,6163.0/topicseen.html Could it be because its the APU supports SD cards (which I'm using) not Compact Flash so we are suppose to be using the generic-pc image in the first place? Those of you who got the serial image working on the APU board which media where you using? Fred Grayson's Input on what is the difference between generic and generic serial images, Quote "The difference has to do with how the output is handled. generic-pc is expecting to find video output hardware (VGA port), and serial is looking for a serial port. Or so one would think....... I too have had the same problem in the past with some old Global Technology Associates (GNATBox) GB-1000 hardware five years ago, see: http://forum.m0n0.ch/index.php/topic,4410.msg15513/topicseen.html#msg15513 There is no VGA output, just a serial port, so one would conclude that the serial image is the correct one to use. But this is not the case. The serial image would boot and play a bit of garbled output out the serial port but would then appear to hang. A lot of time was lost trying endless combinations of serial port baud rates, data bits, parity, stop bits, and terminal emulation settings. Nothing worked. I was just about to give up and declare it hopeless when I decided to try the generic-pc image. Worked perfectly the first time and I continued to use those images until I retired the hardware and went with an ALIX 2c3 board." --Boundary_(ID_yv9ZKiY5e2WKCvCtqLeo9Q)--
