Soren: Are you able to replicate this issue on QEMU? If yes, it should be the best if you can provide Qemu, kernel .config/ rootfs and simple manual to Daniel how to reach that fault.I tried to download qemu for zynq but it fails: git clone git://git.xilinx.com/qemu-xarm.git Cloning into 'qemu-xarm'... fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedlyNot sure which site have you found but it should be just qemu.git https://github.com/Xilinx/qemu or github clone.Ok, cool I was able to clone it.quoted

I am also looking for the option specified for the kernel: "The kernel needs to be built with this feature turned on (in menuconfig, System Type->Xilinx Specific Features -> Device Tree At Fixed Address)."Ok.quoted
This also sound like a very ancient tree. This is the latest kernel tree - master-next is the latest devel branch. https://github.com/Xilinx/linux-xlnxOk, cool. I have the right one.Following the documentation, I was able to boot a kernel with qemu for the linux-xlnx and qemu-xilinx. But this kernel is outdated regarding the upstream one, so I tried to boot a 3.11-rc4 kernel without success, I did the following: I used the default config file from linux-xlnx for the upstream kernel. I compiled the kernel with: make -j 5 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x8000 uImage I generated the dtb with: make -j 5 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- dtbs For qemu, I started qemu with: ./arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -M arm-generic-fdt -nographic -smp 2 -machine linux=on -serial mon:stdio -dtb zynq-zed.dtb -kernel kernel/zImage -initrd filesystem/ramdisk.img I tried with the dtb available for the upstream kernel: zynq-zc706.dtb, zynq-zc702.dtb and zynq-zed.dtb Did I miss something ?
Unfortunately the public github QEMU is behind our internal development. IIRC, there were a couple of DT compatible strings QEMU didn't know. Those are sometimes removed making boot fail/hang. Are you on IRC? It's probably easier to resolve this in a more direct way (I'm 'sorenb' on freenode). Otherwise I could give you a few more instructions for debugging this per mail? S?ren
