[MinnowBoard] no suitable video mode found booting in blind mode

[Darren Hart]

That particular message isn't a fatal error in iteself I don't believe

Consider increasing the loglevel or booting in debug.

The points power or relevant as well and I'd suggest trying to boot from
USB as Bill suggested.
