Kernel 5.11

[kilaueabart]

Did you load the device tree blob "cyrus-p5020.dtb" in U-Boot?

That was the problem. I was trying to use cyrus-p5050.dtb instead.

I don't know whether I want to try alpha3 or wait for you to get alpha4 fixed.

Please try the alpha3. Thanks

When I went to get alpha3 I saw that alpha4 was ready, and now I am running alpha5. Is there still any point in trying the alpha3?

No, there isn’t. Thanks a lot for testing the alpha5!

Hi All,

I compiled the latest Git kernel today and unfortunately the boot issue still exists.

I was able to reduce the patch for reverting the changes. In this way we know the problematic code now.

vdso-v2.patch:

Code: Select all

With this patch, the uImage boots without any problems on my X5000 and in a virtual e5500 QEMU machine.

Cheers,
