A nice thing about the Beagle and Panda is that they boot straight from a FAT32 partition on a SD card. If you already have a card that boots, plug it into the SD slot on your computer and you should see a new drive come up with files like ‘MLO’, ‘u-boot.bin’, and ‘uImage’. Copy the uImage over the existing one, unmount, put it in the board and boot!

See http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#MMC.2FSD_boot for more.

Following your instructions I could get the uImage.

Can you please let me know how to load this custom uImage onto the SD card so that I can see the changes running on Pandaboard?

Thank you.

Sorry, I don’t know the answer to that. I built this kernel for a headless board that had a USB flash drive but otherwise no display, keyboard, or mouse.

You might want to hop on #ubuntu-arm on freenode and see if they can help. The stock binary kernel has everything under the sun and might cover what you need already.
