Without USB, I can get to a prompt. Funny that the software reset is not working, but this bug is actually able to sw reset the board... * PCI seems not to be working, but I need to test it more. The fact that FSL needed to patch 2.6.24.6 in order to get PCI working makes me think it's needs some work. This is bad because I wanted to incorporate some newer patches, like the PWM one, but kernel 2.6.24.6 is too backward in time, while 2.6.27 is too forward for FSL patches... M
