I've heard that due to bugs all high bandwidth devices are flakey. Specifically, MMC and SATA media are unreliable and the best solution is to try USB. I have just copied my 11.08 image to MMC and tried booting off that. I found that it does seem to hang but after 5 minutes or so it eventually gets to the command prompt. Once booted, using ssh to copy a large file gave a transfer rate of about 30kB/s. It's a bit odd though if you find a 11.07 image works and an 11.08 image does on the same kernel and MMC card. -- Tixy _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
