I've been using many BBBs with Ubuntu 13.10, and I really like the convenience of the Flasher image for installation the eMMC.
I have had lots of success with BBB-eMMC-flasher-ubuntu-13.10-2013-10-25.img from http://rcn-ee.net/deb/flasher/saucy/ but I have been trying today to use on of the newer versions, but without success. I have mostly A5C boards, and I'm using my Mac to dd the file over to the uSD card. Try as I might with the Nov and Dec versions in that directory, only the Oct version seems to have success. I'm watching the update via the ttyS0, and can get to the login prompt, log in, and uname -a confirms the Kernel version. I can see the update scripts running via px -ax, but I end up with a kernel panic in both cases, and two solid LEDs. Based on other documentation online, that suggests that I don't have a sufficient power supply, but that is not the case, I'm using the 5V input with a 2A supply, and have success with the other build. Any suggestions? I'm not sure what the updated versions include in the kernel, I was looking for a changelog and can't find it. I just assume, if setting up a new system, I might as well load up the latest. I have several dozen systems running, and I don't suppose there's a good way to just update the kernel in place?
