Bug Description
I installed Maverick on a BeagleBoard xM-A2, following the instructions here:
https:/
Since I am don't have a monitor with DVI-in, I adjusted the bootargs, as per:
https:/
This was done by following:
Strip the 72byte long uboot header:
dd if=boot.scr of=boot.script bs=1 skip=72
Open the file in an editor and edit the "setenv bootargs" line to add/remove bootoptions:
setenv bootargs vram=12M console=
/usr/bin/mkimage -A arm -T script -C none -n "Ubuntu boot script" -d boot.script boot.scr #done as root on fedora desktop
Then copied the newly created boot.scr file on my SD card replacing the existing one.
But when I tried to boot, with s-video connected to my pal-format tv, and with only the 5volt power and serial port connected. Both ways it freezes after minicom has displayed the following:
1. First attempt with svideo connected:

I also tried copying over the MLO and u-boot.bin from Angstrom image (the sd card that is shipped with beagle xm), which was suggested on a beagle howto site, but same freezing point was reached.
I have previously been able to boot and use the demo Angstrom iamge that came with the beagle, and minimal Ubuntu 10.10 from http://

Thanks for filing this bug report. I am currently researching this issue and hope to have some possible solution soon.
One thing I noticed immediately is that you are missing omapdss.def_disp=tv from your command line. Also, if you could capture the entire boot log from the serial port and add it to this report that would help.
