We are working on several bugs on our reference beagleboard. The problem
is that my beagleboard died (a horrible painful death) and the other boards
that are directly available to are RevC and they are booting. So things
are slowed down a bit .. but we are trying to get to the bottom of it,
as fast as possible.
