Linux/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X: Kernel panic

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X


Tool/software: Linux

Hi     

    My question is when we Power on the board (AM437x) , the Kernel is not always work up . it stops at the starting kernel or stop as the picture  below.

Could anyone knows what happened to the system , or what's specific error happened to the system ?

many thanks for all your help. 

  e  the board, the system random start up correct . most time , it stop at the start kernel or stop at the kill kernel like the picture as below . 

  • Hello user5224871,

    While the kernel gives the control to user space it first looks for /sbin/init then later searches for /bin/sh if the first /sbin/init has not found, if the both files are not found in the end it panics and prints "Attempted to kill init!" message.

    Reviewing your log I see that the mmcblk0p2 has recovered from corrupted stage and later the /bin/sh has not found too and "Attempted to kill init!" message appeared as expected.

    What corrupted your file system is unclear. It can be caused by a cold reboot or electricity cut, bugs in ext driver or not updated software packages or by your hardware design or wear leveling.

    Best regards,
    Kemal
