Failed to boot Android on Beagle from SD card

Hi,

I'm having an issue on booting Android on my BeagleBoard Rev C3 from SD card. I'm using the prebuilt image provided in the TI_Android_Eclair_DevKit-V1 package and populated my SD card with the mk-mmc utility. Here below is the failure information when booting the root file system:

 

VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0p2" or unknown-block(179,2)

Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:

b300 7761920 mmcblk0 driver: mmcblk

b301 72261 mmcblk0p1

b302 7687102 mmcblk0p2

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)

 

Also, I have tried many times to build everything from the latest source code (kernel 2.6.32) hosted on rowboat website. But I had exactly the same issue when booting the platform over any of my SD cards (4GB and 8GB). It only works for kernel 2.6.29 built only for basic Android features.

 

Any idea to fix this issue?

 

Thanks a lot!

    Hello Sherman,

    I'm facing this exact problem in an OMAP35X Evaluation Module.

    Although the device "mmcblk0p2" is shown in the list of available devices, it can't be opened.

    Did you succeed in fixing this problem?

    Does anyone know how to solve it?

    Thanks a lot!
