You were both correct. After one additional test failure last night and a lot more reading I reached the same conclusion, I was foolishly thinking .dtbs would be automatically appended to the kernel when configured to support that method of including them.
Yeah, but the DTB append feature is only a development/debugging feature provided to allow DT-related development with non-DT capable bootloaders. However, my understanding is that it is assumed that people should ultimately use DT-capable bootloaders.
That resulted in: http://pastie.org/4092019 Boots, with some serious errors, doesn't seem to mount a FS and stops. Reducing my kernel arguments down to "console=ttyS0,115200 earlyprintk rootfs=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10" I see the same errors, but I also show the key hardware involved being detected, and the nand partitioning looks correct. My status LED goes solid green, so it appears something is working right. I'll dig into goflexnet_init next to try and determine what is wrong in there.
Haven't looked at the details, but aren't certain devices registered multiple times? Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, Free Electrons Kernel, drivers, real-time and embedded Linux development, consulting, training and support. http://free-electrons.com
