Excerpts from Andres Salomon's message of 2012-03-26 20:46:14 +0200: > Q4D06 will be unable to boot kernels that don't support a non-flattened > device-tree. [Some minor points were clarified on techteam@ / via private email, but the essence is that installing Q4D06+ will result in older kernels not being able to boot anymore]
Thanks! So I need to bisect before updating OFW. > Kernel support has been there for a little while now*, so > your existing kernel _may_ support it. I can't say for sure without > knowing which kernel you're running. > > * Added on Feb 3rd w/ commit 4e23d0d5 ["olpc: convert device-tree code > to support both prom DT and flat DT"] The latest kernel that worked reliably was from November 2011. Bisection is somewhere in the 3.0.0 line of commits now; hopefully we'll know more soon. Sascha -- http://sascha.silbe.org/ http://www.infra-silbe.de/
