Re: 2014.01 U-Boot for FDT and Non-FDT Kernel - GoFlex Net/GoFlex Home/Pogo E02/Dockstar/iConnect/Stora

Greetings,

I would like to know if this uBoot supports DTS. The reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to use Fedora 18 for ARM with my Pogo E02 and I'm having issues with the latest kernel.

To explain a bit more, I have no problem booting Fedora 18 image available here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F18/Installation#Using_Fedora_on_a_Kirkwood_Device

Only after updating the system it's just not booting anymore. After reading a bit about this issue, I found that 3.7+ Kernel need uBoot to support DTS.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F18/Installation#Updating_to_the_3.7.2B_Kernel

Here's my uBoot version:

I tried to replace the kernel with the old one that used to work but it is the same...

Also, when I check /var/log/messages, the last message is when I rebooted after updating so it's not helping finding the problem. That means that the system probably stops right after loading kernel and initrd. I verified that with netconsole and the kernel and initrd are loading fine.

I'm out of options...

Thanks for helping!
