I know what you mean=85. I've almost got my scripts building bootable RPi images now using the new boot sequence that Oleksandr's been working on. There's clearly been a huge amount of progress: memory config now works, the HDMI video console works. But I am still having a few inexplicable issues: 1) Building U-Boot. I'm trying to build U-Boot from the sources at github.com/gonzoua/u-boot-pi.git They build but the result won't boot. Can anyone point me to the U-Boot sources that do work? For now, I'm using the binary blob that Oleksandr built. 2) Random failure to mount root. This is weird. If I insert the SD card into my Mac and open the MSDOS partition, then eject, the card will boot (sort of, see below). Otherwise, the kernel can't mount root. I'm entirely baffled. 3) Doesn't quite make it to multi-user. When root does mount, it goes through the init scripts (generates SSH keys, etc), then prints the date and time and stops. I know the kernel is running since I get insert/removal messages if I plug/unplug a keyboard, but getty never seems to launch on either HDMI or serial console. Tim
