Hi -
yes, agreed. Problem described with bug #720055 (which appears to remain unresolved) is a different beast than what Andy's patch is addressing.
If you pull the kernel mentioned in #39 of bug #70883, apply the patch, you'll have better luck booting panda board.
Right the patch from #37 of 708883 successfully worked around the turning off bug allowing you to continue along to what seems to be a display initialization issue with the tree you're using.
That bug is getting attention and patches at the moment...
