Great job getting Ubuntu to run on the Edison!

I am currently trying to get a custom kernel to run on Edison, but I can't seem to get the 8250 serial console to work on any mainline kernels past 4.6.7. I have also tried using Andy's repository with his i386_defconfig and serial still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Also, I have a couple questions related to your Ubuntu 16.0.4 build:

• Are there changes required to the u-boot environment to successfully boot 4.8-rc4?
• Can you please provide the kernel config that was used to build the 4.8-rc4 kernel?

Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for the Ubuntu 16.04.

When I flash this version to MMC memory, I didn't have any problems.

However, when I flashed it to SD card by following AlexT_Intel's instruction.

The problem I encountered was that I couldn't log in using root/password.

When I enter "root", the system returned error without asking password.

Can you figure that out?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Sorry not much time these days MusicIsLife and pilwonhur.

I will try to see if I post all changes, source code, tutorial on how-to make one yourself. I use a customized u-boot. And it should work on external-mmc, whats the error?
