Beagleboard xM Rev C builds are broken

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Obtain Beagleboard-xM Rev C
2. Download prebuilt images for Rowboat Android 2.3.4 for BeagleBoard xM 
3. Install prebuilt image onto a SD 2/4/8GB Micro SD card using default script
4. Boot board, wait for it to fail...it will eventually

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Android 2.3.4 boots

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using a BeagleBoard-xM Rev C with prebuilt Beagleboard-xM images.  I have 
also tried to build from source with the same results (even using the latest by 
doing a repo sync)

Please provide any additional information below.
Board boots from flash just fine, it starts booing android, launches adb and 
then outputs 2 messages

request_suspend_state (x->x) (they are different at times, some are 0->0 and I 
have seen 0->3 and 3->0)

and 

init: untracked pid x exited

Eventually after some time (variable it seems) the system does a kernel oops 
and a variety of error messages have been seen, depending on if it was the 
first boot or not.  Some have been trying to dealocate a NULL pointer others 
have been in the ti power saving code. I do not have a different board to test 
this on (rev A or B) so I do not know if this is isolated to rev C or not.  I 
am not getting consistent crashes so providing a boot log is pretty useless as 
each time I get different results.

I have confirmed that this is an issue with the beagleboard-xm rev C.  I was 
able to get my hands on a rev B xm and the exact same image boots fine.  The 
rev C board has all kinds of issues.  I tried this on 4 different Rev C boards 
and the same issue is present so it's not a that it's just my board.  The 2.3.4 
running on a beagleboard-xm Rev C currently does not work.  This is specific to 
android as a regular Linux distro like Ubuntu and Angstrom works fine.  Very 
Strange.

I am having problems with BB-xm rev C and Rowboat Android 2.3.4. Mine boots all 
the way though. The android logo in the beginnning is green on black, but 
"spread" all over the screen, like the problem with Rowboat 2.3 devkit 1.0. The 
rest of the process is smooth though and colours are fine. I have no power on 
my USB port though, and can therefore not use a mouse, and hence has no way of 
interacting with it.
I power the board with a 1000mA supply at 5V.

@jakob,

I'm not sure if USB would work with 1A/5V supply. Can you try power supply with 
higher Amp rating? I am using 3A/5V supply and the system works ok.

I've tried with another board (same revision) and it just works! I don't 
understand why the first one doesn't boot well.

I have a 600mA 5VDC power adaptor and I can plug an usb mouse and it works fine 
but like you jakob, on boot I have the android logo "spread"!

I have the same problem. I use the 16G micro SD card and got the same problem. 
But when I use the 8G micro SD card every thing is work. Maybe try to use 
2/4/8G memory card

Confirming the same issue. Android boots up, but runs incredibly slow on my XM 
Rev C
