It's because of Ingo's resent changes I did not yet change the (mostly stub :(
) code to reflect those changes... I wanted to do that after my exam I just
passed ;) but since it's already done even better ;)
The port is not dead but I have not done much lately because of university but
I plan to take up work again... but can't say when yet...

Cool stuff ;) I should realy buy a beagleboard since debugging is easyer and
more people have it ;)
As I see you use the framebuffer console afaik it does not yet work corectly
together with the mmu setup stuff yet...
Can you tell me what you got befor user_menu:enter ? because it should not get
to this point since this indicates that it failed to find the kernel for
example...

Yep it never realy worked on the overo board since I had trubles with the
serial output stopping after some bytes...
It booted more or less on the verdex board in the emulator..
