the newer firmware (start.elf,fixup.dat and bootcode.bin) hard-requires 0x02000000 because it initializes the hardware differently in the newer version...
looks like linux-firmware-raspi2 was not properly updated alongside with flash-kernel and the kernel itself, there is a hard lockstep between these three packages, it will only work if all of them are upgraded together ... perhaps the linux-raspi2 metapackage should introduce a versioned dependency for the two others to avoid such fallout in the future ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652504 Title: Recent updates broke Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi 3 Status in flash-kernel package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello, I've been running Raspberry Pi 3 with Ubuntu as described here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 and then upgraded to 16.10 and have been using this setup successfully since October up until last week. Unfortunately one of the latest kernel updates broke the installation and I found out the same happened for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - and therefore I can no longer run up-to-date Ubuntu installation (with updated kernel) on my RPI. I am getting this error: Error image is not a fdt - must reset the board to recover I also tried this but it didn't help me: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=168838 Now I know running Ubuntu on RPI3 this way is not officially supported, but since Ubuntu Snappy is supported I thought someone here could know what is going on.
