#In a single partition setup, dont load g_multi, as we could trash the linux file system...

It appears that I did not have udhcpd installed so it falls through to g_serial. I added that via apt-get and the interface showed up but did not assign an IP on the PC side and I now lost the serial interface too. Got back in via the physical ethernet port. This is becoming a rabbit-hole I'm not interested in following. I removed udhcpd and rebooted and recovered the serial console. I can make do with the physical ethernet interface + usb serial. I also discovered that I had to install acpid in order for the power button to become operational as well. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
