            Hi,
             
            Today I try to install Fedora 12 ARM on my Beagleboard
              xM, I follow the guide in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/BeagleBoardxMSDCard
              step by step. Everythings looks OK.
             
            But when I boot the board, it still boot into the
              orginal angstrom, the boot.scr likes not working. Could
              you please help me to let it work? Thanks.
             
             
            Best Regards,
            David

      Hi,

      
      I'm forwarding this message to the fedora ARM mailing list, as
      it's better to ask there than to contact me directly.

      
      Are you using a recent version of u-boot.bin?  Have you manually
      changed any of the u-boot environment variables at any point? 

      
      I didn't write the section of the tutorial concerning the boot.scr
      file.  I'm not too familiar with how u-boot works, but I can say
      that the process worked for me on the two fresh out-of-the-box
      beagleboard xms i've tried it on.

    Incidentally, I had modified some of the default u-boot environment
    variables to the point where boot.scr wasn't working for me on one
    of the BeagleBoards I've been working with.  To fix it, I restored
    the bootcmd environment variable to the default value it shipped
    with:

    
    setenv bootcmd "if mmc init ${mmcdev}; then if userbutton; then
    setenv bootscr user.scr; if run loadbootscript; then run bootscript;
    else if run loaduimage; then if run loadramdisk; then run ramboot;
    else run mmcboot; fi; fi; fi; else setenv bootscr boot.scr; if run
    loadbootscript; then run bootscript; else if run loaduimage; then
    run mmcboot; else run nandboot; fi; fi; fi; else run nandboot; fi"

    saveenv

    
    As long as you didn't touch any of the rest of the environment
    variables, this should load the boot.scr file and execute what's
    inside of it.

    
    Rich
