Would you mind posting a few more details on the power-control solution using the supercap, along with information on how the magic sysrq is generated by the safe-shutdown hardware? Did you put the safe-shutdown hardware on a cape? Are you running Fedora on the BBB? If you are, do you think it would be problematic to implement the fs journaling changes in Angstrom or Debian?
