[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1078559@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Winston Smith (smith-winston-101):

After performing a BRAND NEW installation of ubuntu-12.10-server-
armhf+omap4.img on an OMAP4 Pandaboard (Rev A2), the system apparently
completed the installation, the installer asked if it could reboot, I
saw the "Requesting system restart" message and nothing further
happened.

I then went to manually power cycle the unit, but it does nothing at
all, I don't even see the u-boot messages coming up.  The activity LEDs
on the board also behave differently from a normal boot (STATUS1 comes
on and stays lit, there is no other LED activity, including the Ethernet
LEDs.

NOTE:  That this behavior is exactly the same as when I tried to upgrade
an existing 12.04 system to 12.10 (see bug #1076447)

If I mount the SD card on Mac OS X, and run the 'ls' command, it appears
that the fat32 partition is corrupt or damaged:


mbp:~ winston$ ls -al /Volumes/SERVICEV001/

NOTE2: After writing the image to the SD card and before attempting to boot, you must replace preEnv.txt with preEnv.txt-serial otherwise there is no console and you cannot perform the installation (this is not documented that I could see!).
