Bug description:
Hi,

I downloaded the 20100928 pre-installed Maverick image for OMAP4 to install it on my OMAP4430 Blaze board, and flashed it on an SD card.

I had to modify the MLO and u-boot.bin files in the FAT partition to support this board, but this was expected. I also replaced "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2" by "root=/dev/mmcblk1p2" to boot on the SD card (/dev/mmcblk0 corresponds to the eMMC on the Blaze board).

The board booted, and your scripts resized the second SD card partition to fill the whole available space. Then the system rebooted.

I checked the updated boot.scr script and the bootargs contained:
root=LABEL=emmcroot

emmcroot is the label of the ext3 filesystem on /dev/mmcblk0p2 (the eMMC already had its own partitions and filesystems).

This is wrong because I wanted to install Maverick on the SD card. It seems that your scripts took the label of /dev/mmcblk0p2 as it would have done on the Panda board. Could it instead take the label from the filesystem on the partition specified at the initial boot (root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 in my case)?

Any other ideas?

Thank you in advance,

Cheers,

Michael.
