Ok, looks like bootloader stuff is OK. Unfortunately, I cannot directly say why it does not work. Those errors you see on screen are always there so they're not related. Can you add

Code:

debug loglevel=8 ignore_loglevel verbose=1

to your kernel boot args to see if you get some more info out of it? After that, you can also try adding

Code:

systemd.unit=emergency.target

and see if you can get to login prompt. Remember to update your bootmenu after adding those.

Thanks, you're welcome. My try with HD was more like a proof-of-concept tryout, it's not packaged or publicly available, not yet at least. I'll see if I manage to find the time to get it up-to-date and recompiled. Also, note that it is not the full Hildon Desktop experience you see in Fremantle, it's just the window manager.

Just put those to the same line where you have rootwait omapfb etc stuff, inside the " ", update menu and try to boot.

okay, here is my bootmenu .item:

Code:

ITEM_NAME="Arch Linux ARM (SD Card)"
ITEM_KERNEL="/boot/uImage"
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p1"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext4"
ITEM_OMAPATAG="1"
ITEM_CMDLINE="root=/dev/mmcblk0p0 rootwait init=/bin systemd omapfb.vram=0:3M,1:3M,2:3M quiet"

Where do I put those lines ?

Last edited by Boemien; 2013-04-30 at 20:24. Reason: rootwait and init are written on a single line

@Boemien

I already told you where to put those

Anyway, hold on with that, you still (probably) have error in your boot args, you are referencing /dev/mmcblk0p0 there, it should be p1 if your rootfs is on the first partition.

Besides using mmcblk0p1, please check there is no newline after rootwait. It should be a single line.
