ECE497 Notes on Upgrading to 3.0

I've been running the 2.6.28 kernel for a while now and I think it's time to upgrade to 3.0.

Getting the SD image
There are a bunch of SD card images here. I downloaded Angstrom-TI-GNOME-image-eglibc-ipk-v2012.01-core-beagleboard-2012.01.11.img.gz and was able to get it to boot, however nothing shows in the DVI display.

Updating and Upgrading
It did the following to make sure the image is up to date.

beagle$ opkg update beagle$ opkg upgrade

The first succeeded. The second runs a long time and just stops. Here's the last thing to display:
