Beaglebone Black - Unable to boot after installing debian Jessie with Robert C. Nelson netinstall



Hello all,

(Please CC me, I'm not on the list. And sorry for my bad english.)

After "fight" several days with booting a BBB with EMMC Robert C. Nelson Debian netinstall, I need to ask for help.

Steps I do:

1. Download Robert C. Nelson netinstall git repository from

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall

2. Prepare a SD card with:

./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdb --dtb am335x-boneblack --distro jessie-armhf --firmware

using root user.

3. Boot from SD and install Debian with installer.

4. Partitions:

/dev/mmcblk1p1 - Vfat - Don't touch original partition from BBB.
/dev/mmcblk1p2 - ext2 - /boot (with boot mark).
/dev/mmcblk1p5 - swap
/dev/mmcblk1p6 - btrfs - /

5. All go well, installer download packages and do basic installation (I don't need a graphical environment at this moment, then I don't install anyone.)

6. Debian installer finish and reboot BBB (starting from SD again).

7. I extract SD and reboot again.

8. BBB don't boot and don't show anything LED on.

I revised and revised docs, blogs, forums and maillists without sucess.

I have secure that there is a problem with u-boot and yesterday I become to:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2014/08/msg00175.html

where Robert Nelson links to elinux.org page. At this moment I can't encounter (possibly my fault) howto "make" the correct u-boot configuration.

I try with several confs of uEnv.txt, copying u-boot.img to uboot subdirectory, etc.

I even follow some instructions from Gentoo [0] (point 5, "Copying U-Boot, MLO and the kernel to the eMMC"), and start from a Debian SD image in order to check wath conf use it and trying to replicate.

There are no success, BBB don't boot.

Any help are welcome.

If you need some more data, only say.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

Salud y Revolución.

Lobo.
