If it has the BeagleBoard.org logo, it better not be a clone! I think
Robert's question was more along the lines of if you were making your own
hardware. With the issue description, it really looks like a hardware issue.

I feel something else must have been done to the board.

Escalating to me when you don't get an answer with a link to the public
post is good. I can't tell you how many times I tell people to post here
FIRST! Anyway, given that you cannot read the EEPROM even from u-boot SPL,
I think something must be up with the bus. I think it would give a
different error if you had simply over written the EEPROM.

What are you using as a power supply? What do you have connected to the
board?
