No, those patches update BB[WB] uboot port to new version and are perfectly good patches that patch(1) accepts. I bet you can hack those into crochet too, if you really wish. I also wonder about those weird SD errors... I have different issues myself (there's message for that already, so I don't repeat). But my issues always appear on boot. I currently don't run from external SD but I just tried it and IIRC there are no changes to this code after that. Internal SD (or eMMC, however you name it) works well, although I had to apply strange hack which apparently changes some timings so eMMC detection works correctly. I don't know how that code works, I never write HW drivers, so I have no idea on that issue. Well, ian@, who DOES write HW drivers, has no idea too :P Maybe I should get more than one BBB (for which you need to make special order, I heard) to properly test my stuff and also other things like possible external SD weirdness. It's painful to boot from different medium to test some things while disturbing other things (long-running stability tests). I could say that BBB is nice piece of HW and 11-CURRENT is very STABLE (what a pun) overall, with (obviously) some CURRENTish glitches... I also must say that I use eMMC mostly read-only, with rare writes to upgrade (whole) system (which is ~150MB in size). BTW, I usually use IRC (EFnet : #bsdmips + several others, and I never quit), because I somehow find writing long pieces of text difficult. Although I like mail as non-instant means of communication.
