since there seems to be way too much traffic related to simple BB
validation, can we come to a consensus that the following page:
http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleboardRevCValidationv3
is correct? or if it isn't, in what way is it wrong or misleading or
incomplete?
to be clear, the purpose of that page is simple board validation.
so if people have tried it and followed the instructions *exactly*,
and it doesn't work, then the instructions need to be fixed.
so, leaving angstrom out of this entirely for now, comments on that
page?

I have not verified all of the tests, but this page contains
instructions and files which boot a validation kernel and basic
filesystem on rev C4 board. That much worked for me.
It may contain files (eg. MLO) which do not work for other board revisions.
It should live next to the code used to generate the binaries, which means it shouldn't be at code.google, but at gitorious. And if you want to have some fun, compare the binaries at code.google against the source there, they don't match....

well, there's the first obvious improvement.

There are upstream references that point at code.google.com
(begaleboard.org IIRC) so the pages need to exist to serve the purpose
of directing users on to the actual location, where-ever that may be.
You mean that beagleboard.org pages need to get updated, right?
If it is also in the BB_SRM which has gone out as PDF attachment
downloads then it might be impractical to remove the code.google.com
page.
But, yes, my preference would be to fix it as far up the tree as possible.
