Status update for armel/orion5x DT support for kernel. flash-kernel: patch accepted, and already in sid now. linux-image-orion5x: patch submitted, bug#803159
However, I found another issue, the kernel image size for orion5x is already exceed the u-boot limit of LS-WTGL, the only orion5x box I have on hand. The kernel I can boot on that device need two patches: - the one submitted to bug#803159 (0001-armel-orion5x-enable-DT-support.patch) - revert file debian/config/armel/config.orion5x in commit b3b60bbdd13 [0] And it's working well on 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u5, but not 4.3~rc5-1~exp1, because of the kernel image size. I'm wondering how to proceed. Some questions: - Is the size of d-i kernel smaller than common linux-image kernel? If so, there's still chance for d-i. - Will d-i support for LS-WSGL get lost due to the kernel size issue, even size of d-i kernel fits well? - bug#803159 is towards common kernel, for d-i kernel, do I need to open another bugreport? Thank you! Cheers, Roger Reference [0]: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/kernel/linux.git/commit/debian/config/armel/config.orion5x?id=b3b60bbdd13a9702dbd8e00bd9b35d49b625df31
