Thanks a lot for testing the patch and reporting back.

It is interesting that ext3 needs to be turned on. The patch to u-boot
which *should* have been applied should have changed the ext3 config
reference to ext2. However, I haven't been paying close attention to
the BR list for the past couple weeks and my patch could be out of
date now.

Having said this, I need to update my patch anyway. Nicolas Dechesne
submitted an SPL bootloader patch that I'd like to base the new patch
off of once it gets in. Also, the Linux config that I submitted feels
way too bloated for BR. If you need something sooner, my current
configs are at:

https://github.com/nerves-project/bbone-erlang-buildroot/blob/master/configs/beaglebone_defconfig

and

https://github.com/nerves-project/bbone-erlang-buildroot/blob/master/board/beaglebone/linux-3.2.9.config

The main change is that no longer compiles many drivers, and hardware
float is enabled on the compiler. Since I haven't rebased that tree in
a while, you'll probably need to make the ext3 change again.

Thanks,
Frank
