root@hot-poop:~# dmesg | head
Initializing cgroup subsys cpu
Linux version 3.8.0-rc4+ (maz@e102391-lin) (gcc version 4.7.1 (0.11.114) ) #761 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 23 11:43:41 GMT 2013
CPU: AArch64 Processor [410fd000] revision 0
Machine: Foundation-v8A
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Seems to be booting well enough for me. Are you sure you used the supplied DT
(as mentioned in the below email)?

now just a configuration option.
