AC100_enablement

no tarball found

Asked by Paul Cioran

Hello,

I have an AC100-10D and have the same problem as Dario in Question #172354.

I have copied the tarball on the usb and tried it with different sticks but the result is the same.
Does the usb has to be formatted with a special file system? If, yes, which one? I have tried it with fat32.
The user from the similar question said he noticed a warning, removed the micro sd and everything was ok. I don't have anything like this, neither a micro sd inserted, nor such a notice. See link for screenshot: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/953/photohs.jpg
Can somebody help me? I have followed the instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100 and everything went ok until I got to this problem.
Thank you.

VFAT partition works for me so that should not be an issue.
Look at dmesg output in that shell, maybe there are read errors from the media

Here's a screenshot. This is what it shows for dmesg , maybe you know what it means: http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/4120/photo2ht.jpg
And this is what it shows for a brief second or so right after I turn it on: http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/9338/photo1nc.jpg
My linux knowledge is a shame. I apologize if I don't really understand what is going on.
Thank you.

do you have more partitions on the usb stick?
Seems sda4 is found (part no 4). Maybe try with a newly formatted usb stick with a single vfat partition.

Nope. Just one partition and it shows the same "sda4" again.
I have tried it again with 2 different newly formatted usb sticks and it shows the same sda4.

the installer can only locate the tarball on the first partition of a device. are you sure the device is properly partitioned ?

I don't know how to check if it's properly partitioned.
It only shows one partition. I have formatted it without any special settings. Just formatted it. So I guess it is.
Do you think I should wait for the release of Oneiric Ocelot? It's only a week or so away.
Thank you.
