I don't think Jessie's 3.14-1 will boot the xm.. or just use this branch: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/armv7-multiplatform/tree/v3.14.x with your config tweak and really easy to copy the kernel files: http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBoard#BeagleBoard-CopyKernelFiles > > Also, once I've got them compiled, I guess I should modify the BOOT > partition of my uSD card to point to the proper image?
