	Verdex Bad Magic Number? by Peter Vandrish :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi, My verdex/console-vx is failing to boot more and more frequently. Uboot comes up fine but then nothing happens, it hangs at this point: U-Boot 1.2.0 (Dec 21 2007 - 13:34:50) - PXA270@400 MHz - 1578M * Welcome to Gumstix * DRAM: 64 MB Flash: 16 MB Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 Instruction Cache is ON ... I tried going into uboot and doing a "bootm", it comes up with a: GUM> bootm ## Booting image at a2000000 ... Bad Magic Number I have had to reflash it to get it to work again a few times now. Could it be a memory hardware failure? I am always very cautious handling the system.

	Re: Verdex Bad Magic Number? by Peter Vandrish :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I don't have that on hand right now. I will post it back later. I do recall that transferring these images to the gumstix was successful every time though. Sometimes the system will hang at that point, sometimes it will take a few minutes then uboot will actually manage to start booting the OS. Strange.. What were you thinking it could be?

I would double check the number of ‘0s’ on all your commands as putting an extra 0 (or not enough 0s) in will cause this. There may be issues with the image as well but I’m not sure what they would be on a Gumstix U-boot. ~Shane From: Peter Vandrish [mailto:peter.vandrish@...] Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 10:39 AM To: skirkbri@...; General mailing list for gumstix users.

Learn more about Nabble's security policy. You know what I have found is that, if the gumstix has been sitting around for a long time, then the first time I try to boot it is when it has problems. But after that, once it boots once it will work no problem everytime. Hardware weirdness I think...
