This bug hits rpi3 users who have downloaded an unofficial image. The rpi packages you are using are from a PPA.
The official xenial versions of Flash-kernel and U-boot don't support the rpi3. They do support the early versions of the rpi2 and for these the original bug has been fixed. Ryan Finnie's PPA contains a newer version of uboot which works considerably differently from the official xenial uboot. It's quite unfair here to heap any abuse on Ubuntu. Or Ryan for that matter. Some good background reading can be found here http://dius.com.au/2015/08/19/raspberry-pi-u-boot/ The patch that is discussed was merged into uboot and is in the PPA. This is why different device tree addresses are needed for the rpi3 and rpi2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652270 Title: Could not boot into RPi3 with kernel 4.4.0-1038-raspi2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-raspi2/+bug/1652270/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
