@RobertCNelson:  "Your kernel is out of date, please upgrade to 
"v3.8.13-bone35" first..."

That kernel version is from attempts to boot Ubuntu. Maybe I could find a 
newer Ubuntu image, but I have the same kernel panic problem trying to boot 
Angstrom. It only says:
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80007fc0 ...
   Image Name:   Angstrom/3.8.13/beaglebone
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    4270776 Bytes = 4.1 MiB
How do I tell if that is out of date? It is specifically the image the RMA 
people told me to use - BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.09.04.img.xz

There seem to be a maddening variety of images available, but I haven't 
found any newer production versions. 


@Vaibhav: 
> PHY reset timed out 
I guess ^^^ that's your problem. I can't see why the WiFi will interfere 
with the CPSW.

I've seen lots of boot logs show those lines and still boot successfully. 
Your links and others I've found are about the ethernet dying after an hour 
or more, or failing to start maybe 1/50 times while the rest of the board 
boots successfully. 

My Ubuntu boots do show a later version of phy not found - just before the 
fatal error:
-----

But right after saying the probe failed, it displays the proper MAC address 
for the interface it couldn't find! 


Something is obviously screwed up, but my kernel booted fine before I tried 
to install Wi-Fi, and it is the one Beagleboard RMA says I should use. Wish 
I had boot logs from back then, but my first console port adapter arrived 
with a bad cable. I'm not seeing anyone else (except for the one link I 
posted) say cpsw_probe totally prevents booting. And in that one instance, 
the kernel that failed in one board worked in the other five...
