You shutdown mid flash... So it never completed the eMMC install, so yeah, you have to reflash now... Here is the latest "stable" 7.x-wheezy/3.8 kernel/2GB: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#BBB.2FBBG_.28All_Revs.29_eMMC_Flashers btw, we nuked this method, now you users don't get a temp session to play around anymore, everyone has to wait and watch the flashing process ;) > A couple of hours later I went back to try it again and it would not boot > the original Angstrom, the blue led's all stay on and nothing happens.
