Is this something that would also work on a Sheeva or Guru plug?
Conceptually, yes, but not the same kernel rpm. Sheeva/Guru is based on
a Marvell Kirkwood chip (ARMv5) while the BeagleBoard and PandaBoard are
Cortex A based (ARMv7). At least judging by the kernel configuration
options, it doesn't seem possible to build a single kernel for both.
