Package: u-boot Version: 2011.12-1 Severity: important I tried to install this version of u-boot on my dreamplug and it failed. I reported this issue upstream[0] but thought it would be worth a bugreport here too as a heads up and to prevent this version getting into testing.
2011.09-2 works for me fine.
Cheers,
Ian.

and in particular the line
orr r0, r0, #0x00000002 /* set bit 2 (A) Align */
Commenting out just that one line causes things to work. Is the error
setting this bit or is it that there is a bug somewhere else which
prevents us setting this bit?
A different approach to the original patch was suggested in
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-December/112353.html and I
suppose that combined with
s/CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT/CONFIG_SKIP_CPU_INIT_CRIT/g in the relevant
config files (at least include/configs/dreamplug.h, but perhaps
everywhere except whichever platform caused this change?) would fix
things.
Thanks,
Ian.
