No, it's usually found under /usr/lib/linux-image-$kvers (it ships with the kernel) but flash-kernel also allows users to put DTBs in /etc/flash-kernel/dtbs (flash-kernel will take the DTB from there and then store it under /boot for the boot process.) > I think this require some context knowledge from user to intepret > this correctly.

Then we could tell the user where we were looking. Ian, any comments? -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/
