My guess is that you're missing the proprietary binaries. Since that's
a userspace issue, not a kernel issue, the kernel log doesn't tell us
anything relevant. The boot logo doesn't require hardware
acceleration, so it works on a plain kernel framebuffer, but anything
after that can only work with hardware acceleration that is not
provided by the kernel drivers.

Sync the latest tree (the necessary fixes went in a few days ago),
extract the latest proprietary binaries, and you should be in
business.

They're not in the tree, as we don't have a license to distribute them that way.

Get the Panda IMM76I file from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#pandaimm76i

Unzip it in the root of your source tree, and execute the resulting
script. Read and accept the enclosed license, and re-run make. In this
specific case there's no need to do a clean build.

This usually indicates that your Python installation doesn't support
HTTPS. Googling the error message should help you with a remedy.

You have to use the master branch for PandaBoard.
