  [Other Info]
+ 
+  * restore the working boot partition backup image could recover the
+ situation
+ 
+ [Solution]
+ 
+ * The latest X/raspi2 kernel in -proposed blows the space the
+ bootloader reserves for the DTB, making the board unbootable (it only
+ happens with classic rpi2 images created by the Foundation, Snappy is
+ fine)
+ 
+ * Ppa:p-pisati/misc has these 3 new packages that fix it:
+ 
+  - linux-firmware-raspi2 - contains the latest Broadom fw release, and
+    upon installation checks that /boot/firmware/config.txt contains the
+    new DTB memory location, and if not, it does the necessary
+    modification on behalf of the user
   
-  * restore the working boot partition backup image could recover the situation
+  - flash-kernel - modifies uboot.env to find the DTB in the new memory 
location
+  
+  - uboot -  update uboot to work with the new boot firmware (aka skip
+    serial initialization if already done by the fw), contains the
+    mkknlimg required when installing a new u-boot binary and correctly
+    installs the uboot binary in the vfat partition
+ 
+ [How to test it]
+ 
+ * Install a fresh foundation image, add my misc ppa and the xenial
+ -proposed repository, apt-get update && dist-upgrade, once the board
+ completes the upgrade reboot it.
