Thanks for the advice...but I just found out that there actually is no EEPROM on the board at this point. I'm not sure why the guy who did the hardware neglected to mention this earlier, but I can't do much for now other than work around it.
If I do make the kernel modifications to avoid the EEPROM check, will there be any other complications if an EEPROM isn't available? This is a pretty big change and I'm not sure if the BBB relies on the EEPROM for anything else.
