Success!! For U-boot I found I needed to change include/configs/omap3_beagle.h instead of configs/omap3_beagle_defconfig and added: #define CONFIG_SPL_EXT_SUPPORT #undef CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT However, I could not get MLO to load from any ext partition on the SD card. I went back to adding a new VFAT slice and now I'm just using the "stock" MLO/u-boot.img from /usr/share/uboot/beagle. I did: fdisk -c=dos /dev/(device) and added a partition from sectors 32 to 2047. I deleted other partitions first and recreated them so that the VFAT partition is slice 1. Then I copied MLO and u-boot.img to the VFAT slice and added the uEnv.txt I was using with F20 and a few small changes, and it boots now. Now running F21 LXDE on Beagleboard XM rev B. Tried KDE but it is really slow... Problems: - The boot process was hanging after complaining about not able to enumerate USB devices. After a few minutes it went into emergency mode (root shell on initramfs). After booting several times I finally got to a multi-user login. Once I ran yum update and booted from the new kernel, this problem disappeared. - LXDE GUI logout doesn't work; nothing happens. Shutdown and restart from the GUI are OK. Killing LXDM is the workaround. On 1/20/15 3:24 PM, Scott M.
