Jonathon Hi,

Good progress.

What you are seeing now is probably a mismatch between the kernel and
userspace tegra video bits and pieces.

Try configuring X to use a simple framebuffer device instead of
tegra_drv.so

You were right on there.<div class="im"><br>

So now it gets a lot further into the boot process.<br>
<br>
I see one suspicious message:<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc \
                solid;padding-left:1ex">

details.<br> </blockquote>
<br>
I see no way to get open a shell to look for those details.<br>
<br>
Then a few lines down:<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc \

<br>
and there it freezes, presumably the X server fails to start.<br>
<br>
If I take the SD card out and look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log I see it ends with:<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc \

cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support<br> </blockquote>
<br>
Which looks like more kernel stuff, but nothing I can understand.<br>
<br>
Any further suggestions?<br>
<br>
