Hi Dennis, I have given up on trying to install and run Kali Linux. I downloaded a Ubuntu image to try and run that instead.
To my pleasant surprise, it seemed to installed perfectly : with the sweeping LED lights and the terminal codes saying that it has flashed properly to the eMMC (which is a 2 GB eMMC, and the image size is 1.7 GB) But when I started the BBB after flashing. Only the first two LEDs flashed and stayed lit ( USR0 and USR1). But nothing else happened. It's been like that since about 30 minutes now. There is not HDMI output either. Any idea what might be happening and how I can fix it ? Thanks.
