I can also confirm that editing config.txt worked, but I had to remove the ppa (ppa:ubuntu-raspi2/ppa-rpi3) first.
If it can help somebody else, here is what I did. I was stuck with the "starting kernel" message, just after boot. 1/ I removed the sd card from the raspberry and put it in another computer : cd system-boot mv initrd.img initrd.img.ori mv initrd.img.bak initrd.img mv bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb.ori mv bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb.bak bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb mv boot.scr boot.scr.ori mv boot.scr.bak boot.scr mv vmlinuz vmlinuz.ori mv vmlinuz.bak vmlinuz 2/ Put the sd card back in the raspberry, it should start up and uname -r should display 1034 3/ Comment the ppa:ubuntu-raspi2/ppa-rpi3 in /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update 4/ Re-install kernel (from the offical Canonical rpi2) sudo apt-get install --reinstall flash-kernel linux-firmware-raspi2 sudo reboot 5/ Normally you're stuck again at the boot but for another reason. So remove again the sd card from the raspberry and put it in another computer. This time modify the config.txt file in system-boot as follows : # set extended DT area #device_tree_address=0x100 #device_tree_end=0x8000 device_tree_address=0x02008000 6/ Now it should work. This also would mean that the special ppa for raspberry pi 3 is not anymore necessary. Currently my rpi3 work with kernel 1042.
