Hi Trond, Here is the new kernel. I've reconfigured this kernel to deselect I2S, SPDIF... (basically no sound capability). Please give it a try before I release it.

@sudos, Thanks! all good points. I'll update the release notes to include your recommendation. BTW, - Marvell CESA: agreed as your edit said. - kirkwood_thermal: this module only works with the M300, afaict. Other boxes Kirkwood 88F6282 SoC seems not working properly, perhaps because they have their own method for thermal. So it might also be a good thing not to confuse the userby bodhi - Debian

Booting the MVEBU (Armada 37x, 38x, and XP) boards with stock u-boot. 1.

spiderdijon, Yes, this box is supported in mainline Linux. So I'd expect it can be supported here easily (if the u-boot used in this box is a bit newish). Let me write a summary of steps to get it to boot Debian in the next post.by bodhi - Debian

FIS, Your USB rootfs creation steps looks good. And there is no problem with your USB stick. Try again with this combination: - kwboot the u-boot 2017.07-tld-1 version - attach the USB rootfs to one of the two USB 2.0 ports in the back - And boot I will explain it after you got it to boot this time.by bodhi - uBoot
