If the DTB has been appended then it should Just Happen on reboot, I think. I'm 99% certain that the 3.16 kernel in Jessie had the options to enable DTB on this platform turned on. Specifically it should have CONFIG_ARCH_KIRKWOOD_DT=y. You say "the kernel is flashed using the dtb", please could you post the logs from flash-kernel to confirm this. And the dmesg from the subsequent boot (whether board or DTB) would be useful too. > On a different note anyone know why udev would not be running modprobe? > Every time I reboot this box I have to the reload any of the modules not > specified in the initrd even things like mvmdio to get the network working. I've no smart ideas, but you could maybe workaround by listing them in /etc/modules? Ian
