I'm posting a copy of my post at answers.ros.org, as I'm not sure
whether the ROS community or the Linaro community is more likely to be
able to answer. Let me know if you have any questions. The most
important thing to note in the text below is
"Detected ros_comm bootstrapping it too.
Could not detect OS. platform detection will not work"
I'm trying to get a working installation of ROS on my Gumstix Overo
Tide. I've tried the gumros/ubuntu installation method using rootstock,
but there's an issue with that because the Overo Tide lacks NAND
storage, everything is on the SD card (the tradeoff is 512MB of RAM as
opposed to 256). In any case, I found the Linaro project, which is
truly excellent for creating bootable images for Gumstix, simply
requiring a couple of downloads and a single command. In any case, I
have a working Linaro installation, and I'm following the from source
installation instructions for Ubuntu. This should work, as the Linaro
OS is Ubuntu. However, when I run the command
sudo rosinstall ~/ros
"http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=ros-base&overlay=no";
I get (after a number of SVN downloads)

This indicates that ROS can't determine the OS. I suspect that this is
because Linaro calls itself Linaro, not Ubuntu (which is what the image
is). Any ideas on how to get Linaro to call itself Ubuntu, or to get
ROS to understand that Linaro means Ubuntu?
Thanks,
Bradley Powers
