I don't see anything obviously wrong here. Unfortunately, I don't have
a BBB with me to test this right now. Maybe someone else on the list
will have this at hand.

That being said, you can still follow my Buildroot tutorial at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PfthHCfudY, where I'm doing a step by
step description of building a Buildroot configuration for the BBB.
It's not using the kernel from http://github.com/beagleboard/linux.git,
but instead the mainline Linux kernel. But it should give you another
thing to test and look at.

Best regards,

Thomas
