You know, it might not be a bad idea to put a post on the BeagleBoard mailing list about our success with a Ubuntu-compatible kernel for the xM rev. C. I dont think anyone else has one yet. It might be helpful to some people. JIM

Apparently, on 4/27/11, CircuitCo started shipping Rev. C BeagleBoard-xM boards. These boards have some subtle hardware differences which made previous boot loader and kernels unable to run on them.
Despite many hurdles (which I won't go into) I have released a new version of Pickle Linux which successfully supports this new hardware.
Awesome work Jim! I'll be watching the BeagleBoard mailing list for any notifications of new revisions. I don't think there was any warning about the rev C boads though.
In addition (thanks to Moishe, NY2SI for bringing this to my attention), I fixed a problem with the chan_beagle driver. So, even if you have an older board, it would be a good idea to at least update from the latest SVN sources, or download the new version of Pickle Linux.
More awesome work guys!
