Probably the size of the image is too big.

First you need to make the Pandaboard MMC driver work with the L4Android kernel. This most likely includes setting up the right GPIO configuration.

You should have a look into the Pandaboard TRM and gather the right MMIO regions needed for MMC etc. Then connect those to the vbus for the L4Android kernel.
