  i had time to do the following quick test. i took my working uSD
card (with artifacts from the meta-beagleboard build), and simply
flat-out replaced both the MLO and u-boot.img files in the FAT
partition with the corresponding files from the meta-ti build, and got
the error above.

  i then copied back the original MLO and u-boot.img files and the
boot worked just fine, so that validates that the card partitioning
itself seems fine.

  i'll just email you the two files in question, and you can see if
you can boot to u-boot.
