You know, Robert, I don't care what anyone else says. You're a decent
fellow.For my part I re-ran sd_setup.sh without --bbb-flasher on the 12.04 build
and wrote it to the sd card. It booted cleanly into 12.04 and I was able to
run, without issue, the last command in the console log before the panic:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p1 -L BOOT.
I think it might be a miss-compiled 'precise' kernel... gcc 4.6 + thumb2.. 
But that's irrelevant at this point. I'll create a raring image and flash it
to eMMC.Can I help by documenting a step-by-step process for future ROS noobs?
git clone GitHub - RobertCNelson/omap-image-builder: omap image builder
cd omap-image-builder/
#13.04 base + 14.04 kernel + hyrdo:
./RootStock-NG.sh -c ros_hydro
#or 14.04 base + indigo:
./RootStock-NG.sh -c ros_indigo
Then from deploy:
sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --img-2gb BBB-eMMC-flasher --dtb beaglebone
--bbb-flasher --bbb-old-bootloader-in-emmc
