That's why I said the card otherwise works fine. I've used it to burn to the card and boot from the card the BBB Debian Wheezy 7.8 (March 1) and 7.9 (Nov 12) images, with everything working fine. It's specifically when I turn to the Ubuntu image that things turn awry.
But perhaps that's because the Ubuntu image requires some additional steps that I'm missing. For example, perhaps I need to zero out the first 512 or 1024 bytes of the device. It didn't say that anywhere, which is why I didn't do it. But maybe the fact that I had previously other images on it somehow makes that necessary (even though I wouldn't think so). I'd be especially curious whether everyone else here has been able to use the Ubuntu Snappy Core 15.04 image just fine, so that I know it's something with what I'm doing or something perhaps with the boot loader on my eMMC. (Even though I thought that if you press the User/Boot button, it disables that boot loader and changes boot order to the microSD? And that still doesn't explain the weird OOM error I get when inserting the card into the running system.) Also, if there's a better place to ask than here, let me know. -hilmar On Friday, January 1, 2016 at 11:31:06 AM UTC-5, doog wrote: > > if this is the first time running from the uSD card then how about using a > known good image just to verify you've got things booting correctly?
