Hi
That log was with SeaBIOS? With it one usually executes video bios late.
With Grub2 video bios is usually executed early, before payload.
Your log indicates it did not even reach payload. Try to add some
debugging printk's in smbios_write_tables() to trace where it might
halt. Unfortunately you cannot yet use GDB over usbdebug.
Grub2 console over Net20DC has been demonstrated, it may require some
tweaks to USB IDs/descriptors to make it work with BeagleBone Black.
