I have a dreamplug and I've been confused in the process of trying to get modern versions of Linux to run on it, somewhat similarly to the problems described in this thread. Fedora 18 works fine with the original u-boot, but not with a new u-boot (then it hangs after "Uncompressing Linux..." ).
Odd...
Does the new u-boot change the arcNumber? Some times people chose random numbers and only later got an official ID reserved. So maybe your old u-boot version exposes an unofficial arcNumber - which your kernel expects - but new u-boot exposes a new official arcNumber, that your kernel doesn't know about? [...]
Thank you very much for this suggestion - I think that's it. The newer u-boot (which I built from source) says in the output of bdinfo: arch_number = 0x00000DDE The older u-boot gave 0x00000A63. But trying to override this with "setenv arcNumber 2659" doesn't seem to help me. I believe these devices were manufactured in two different types. -- ======================== Roger Whittaker roger@disruptive.org.uk http://disruptive.org.uk ======================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
