[beagleboard] Re: Cannot boot from expanded microSD and I don't know where to look for logs

2015-12-30 Thread Graham
1.) logs are at /var/logs/
2.) look in the file named syslog for the latest boot information.  Other 
log files may have specialized information.
3.) I usually take a card that has had the 4G image installed, that has 
been tested for proper booting, then expand the partition by plugging the 
card into another LINUX computer, and using gparted to expand the partition 
to the desired size, including the maximum for the card.
4.) Expanding to 30GB on a 32 GB card should not be a problem.
5.) Cheap cards can cause problems. Use a quality card.
