What section of the message provided that to you? It was the part that said, Passing tests ------------- Boot to userspace: 3517evm, 3530es3beagle, 3730beaglexm, 37xxevm, 4430es2panda, 5912osk, am335xbone It sounded to me like you were saying that the current kernel release boots just fine on the beaglebone, with no issues. It surprised me, because in fact I have had one heck of a time getting the beaglebone to boot. It is a bit of a cop-out to say that you are not interested in the boot loader. Way back when the whole "dt is so cool, arm should use it too" argument appeared, I wrote that, in my experience with Freescale powerpc chips, the whole kernel/dt/u-boot is a kind of Bermuda Triangle of misfortune. Looks like that dt is turning out to be just as successful for arm as it was for powerpc.
