Thank you for making kernel update available. Could you provide instruction or give me a link to instructions on how to "install" the kernel update?

Also, does this correspond to the physical memory in the system? Can it be edited to reflect the actual physical memory present?

Also updated "setenv linuxboot" to include this, system now boots to MATE desktop from boot menu. Wonderful!

Do you use a MBR/msdos partition table? You can find out it with GParted. Please start GParted and select View - Device Information Thanks for your reply! Yes, MBR/msdos. I do not have AOS installed right now; I'd rather focus on Linux first. Could you please try to load the kernel from the USB fla...
