Gregg:

I adore Dilbert. Of course, I always thought I was Dilbert; my staff 
always thought I was his clueless manager.

Be that as it may, please pay attention to the nomenclature. The image 
Michael created for the BBW (original Beaglebone aka Beaglebone "White") 
doesn't boot on my BBB (Beaglebone Black).

Given the substantial hardware differences between the two boards, this 
was not a surprise, just a disappointment.

Like Michael, I believe it will turn out to be a trivial issue involving 
the boot code. Once fixed, I expect we will have an image that boots on 
both old and new cards. At worst, we'll have to have one image for each.

In the meantime, the "new product launch" proceeds. Anyone with an 
original Beaglebone can give it a ride today.

Regards,
Kent
