armel preinstalled image hangs on i.MX53

Asked by Kevin Fox

Followed the instructions on the Freescale i.MX53-based QuickStart support page:

* Download the preinstalled desktop image from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/release/ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-desktop-armel+mx5.img.gz
* Write it to a microSD card - the QuickStart board only boots from microSD
$ zcat oneiric-preinstalled-desktop-armel+mx5.img.gz| sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4M
* Insert your microSD card in the board, plug in the power cord and press the power-on button next to the microSD slot.

The system boots, resizes then reboots, and then hangs after uttering the following:

* Stopping System V runlevel compatibility [ OK ]
 * Stopping CPU interrupts balancing daemon [ OK ]

....

It appears to have configured the network, but sshd isn't responding so I can't log in, and there is
nothing on the VGA output ... so not sure where to go from here ... the microSD card I'm using is a Kingston 8gb C10.

This is really a question about how to effect the workaround for "871785 crash on ARM at the end of install"
