Hi again everybody, I finally got around to trying this out myself using a freshly debootstrapped stretch, and 2017.07-rc3 u-boot and these are my findings with the early posted db entry:
The device-tree gets copied as expected boot.scr gets generated root= argument is not added to cmdline: That is actually fine! I still had some trouble with mounting the rootfs, because it turns out I used /dev/root short-hand in my fstab. This is a problem because flash-kernel picks that value up and stores it as conf/conf.d/default_root. Obviously passing root=/dev/root makes no sense to the kernel. I might even go as far as suggesting to not populate default_root if it is set to this magical value! Anyway after putting a UUID=... line in my fstab its all good! And now to question the Kernel-Flavors Line: Does anybody know if the Armada 388 supports lpae? I did not manage finding sufficient information. However I can tell you that the current linux-image-4.9.0-3-armmp-lpae does *not* boot! That means the serial console stays quiet after "Starting kernel ..." So I now have this database entry: Machine: SolidRun Clearfog A1 Kernel-Flavors: armmp Boot-Script-Path: /boot/boot.scr DTB-Id: armada-388-clearfog.dtb U-Boot-Script-Name: bootscr.uboot-generic Required-Packages: u-boot-tools br Josua Mayer
