IIRC, Debian latest mainline kernel still expects ATAGS for most of these boards (ones which they have installer for): n2350 ds116 dockstar dreamplug ds109 ds414 goflexhome lschlv2 lsxhl nsa310s nsa325 openrd_base openrd_client openrd_ultimate pogo_e02 pogo_v4 I think we should keep ATAGS around until the Linux kernel removes it.
