Yeah yeah, Linux mint is based on Ubuntu and Debian( testing ) ( depending
on version ), but thats

When you copied the rootfs, the root device is listed in /etc/fstab,
along with the fsck call. Just minimze it:
voodoo@hades:$ cat /opt/wheezy/etc/fstab
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs defaults 0 0
Yes, on the failing rootfs I see the / mount (/dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext4

Part of my reasoning is probably personal preference, but the majority of
my reasoning has to do with package conflicts. Debian stable(wheezy at the
moment ) should always be pretty much straight forward in this regard ( no
surprises ).
Where as LMDE is based on Debian testing, a branch which is
*Where as LMDE is based on Debian testing*
Regular Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, and in this case is probably worse
than LMDE.

Brian, anyhow if you've got a huge time investment into your current
support system, just use what you have now. But do keep what I say in mind.
My comments are based on experience, and I have been down the same road
you're on now. I did this all last year, and for a while it was a very
William,
Thanks for the comments. Yes, I am in the same position as you...a year
on. I've not touched Linux in any serious way for a long time. I have
been involved in a number of commercial deployments that target
CentOS/RHEL. My role was that of a Java server developer, so I didn't get
I do not think TFTP kernel load will be possible over usb. Although there
was a GSoC project last year for that. Last I heard semi recently, the
developer was still having some issues. His vision was to boot a BBB over
NFS from an Android device, like a tablet or phone. Pretty cool project I
Brian, as far as Ubuntu goes . . . Yeah let us just say I dont have very
much good / nice to say about it. I've done tons of testing on Ubuntu, and
it has always let me down. Not to mention it's upgrade path used to
literally be a nightmare.

I am attempting to setup a BBB to boot via TFTP and mount a rootfs via NFS.
I am using Robert Nelson's 2014-08-05 Debian lxde release image. I've
examined the nfs-uEnv.txt in the boot partition and had a brief look at how
the various environment variables interact with the default uboot setup.

Brian, Yeah I've been busy ( always am during the summer ), and have barely
even thought about my blog site. uImage which I used in my blog post I
suppose for this purpose is depreciated now, but without major tweaks was
the only way to load the kernel over tftp back then ( as far as I know ).
*Lately, I've been concentrating on setting up g_ether statically in the
kernel to load the kernel over usbnet.*
Meant, load the root file system over usbnet.
