I've played with this a bit on my panda. It appears that when U-Boot relocates the .dtb, it either moves it to a location that the kernel cannot read during early boot, or it corrupts it when it is moved. Either way, the kernel is hooped when it tries to parse the device tree data, it falls back to the old ATAGs support, but there aren't any ATAGs either so it cannot actually boot. I've got it working at the moment by hacking u-boot to /not/ relocate the .dtb blob which gets me much farther, but it also looks like it also causes problems with the initramfs image. It currently has an oops when it cannot mount the initramfs. Still investigating... g. _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
