We imaged 12 SD cards and inserted them into panda chassis 2. Jake is taking a look at the nodes now.

Update: They're booting up but they're also PXEbooting which they're not supposed to do. Jake is trying to figure out why but a new image may need be built.

FYI, we took the image from comment 15 of bug 769428 and ran with comment 1's instruction.

dd if=panda_final_2gb.img of=<device> bs=32M

Question: is there any harm other than a longer boot time caused by the "dual boot"?

If not, we'd like to proceed with six of these images in chassis 3 (bug 797629) while the issue for chassis 2 is worked out. See bug 797629 for more details.

If you're asking me, I don't know have an answer because I had no participation in building the image.

I am a little confused about this statement. So you want me to image 6 of the SD cards in chassis 3 to this non-working/not working as intended image(according to Jake)?

Hal: this isn't a "dual boot" issue.  The boot loader was defaulting to PXE boot because the kernel on the card was corrupt and failing a CRC check.

## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80200000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-3.2.0+
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    4772120 Bytes = 4.6 MiB
   Load Address: 80008000
   Entry Point:  80008000
   Verifying Checksum ... Bad Data CRC
ERROR: can't get kernel image!

I downloaded the image as indicated in 769428 comment 15 but change the block size to 1M.  This seemed to fix the issue.  I'm re-imaging all the cards for chassis 2 now.

Jake - AWESOME! As you will see from the email that I sent before I got your update, we're keen to get access to a panda-for-android in a chassis ASAP. Thanks!
