RCN is a great hacker and probably one of the very few people outside of TI with such great level of familiarity with processors used on Beagle boards. If there are problems with the system, it is certainly not because he can not make it work, but because his time is a limited resource and it's much more advantageous to dedicate it to work on current iteration of Beaglebone, of the new Beagleboard, than to fix bugs on deprecated platforms. I think the only future for original Beagleboard is to stick to old kernels, or start using it as a paperweight.
