Hi Alex, > > But if I don't load the fdt file (bcm2835-rpi-b.dtb - what is that > anyway?), I get all the way to the network:
the fdt file is the device tree, its a binary blob that should exactly describe the hardware. This is used to avoid the kernel having to guess about the hardware (as sometimes probing is not possible on ARM hardware due to lack of standardization). The obvious question for me is whether you actually use a Raspberry Pi - Type B board. It looks like the device tree is not actually matching your hardware. if it boots without it - we might consider building an image without the device tree, since I find it actually surprising that it works without device tree.
