THANKS!

Wish I'd seen that sooner.....

Meanwhile, I tried installing U-Boot as per your instructions....

Got following error message in terminal:

Code:

....blah, blah, blah......

Generating u-boot image for kernel 'u-boot-2012.10-rc3-1.bin'...
Adding bootmenu entry for: 'U-Boot 2012.10-rc3-1'

Configuration file: /etc/bootmenu.d/Arch.item:
/usr/bin/u-boot-update-bootmenu: /etc/bootmenu.d/Arch.item: line 6: INT_CARD: not found
/usr/bin/u-boot-update-bootmenu: /etc/bootmenu.d/Arch.item: line 6: rootwait: not found
Setting up u-boot-tools (2012.10-rc3-1) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 u-boot-flasher_2012.04-2_armel.deb

Just noticed on the blog page that there's one more file to install?

(root) apt-get install fiasco-image-update-ask

I did not install that file...did that now....
Re-ran U-Boot install, but now I see that it updated kernel to another version....is that OK?

Also, per blog page, I edited my Arch.item file to say 'EXT_CARD' instead of 'INT_CARD', since I'm using SD card....

Did 'u-boot-update-bootmenu' too...

Now I get the following message:

Code:

....blah, blah, blah......

Generating u-boot image for kernel 'u-boot-2012.10-rc3-1.bin'...
Adding bootmenu entry for: 'U-Boot 2012.10-rc3-1'

Configuration file: /etc/bootmenu.d/Arch.item:
/usr/bin/u-boot-update-bootmenu: /etc/bootmenu.d/Arch.item: line 6: EXT_CARD: not found
/usr/bin/u-boot-update-bootmenu: /etc/bootmenu.d/Arch.item: line 6: rootwait: not found

Please advise....

Thanks!
