[Jason Cooper]

Robert,

Please don't toppost.  It makes it very frustrating for others in your
situation trying to solve their problem by reading the archives.

Did you do this?  It doesn't sound like you did.  Please attach the
console boot output.

Can you cut-n-paste specific results?  eg configs, console output, etc?

Your bootloader is, incorrectly, identifying itself as a Guruplug.  By
enabling 'Marvell GuruPlug Reference Board', the kernel executes that
legacy board file's machine_init.  It most likely isn't using the
appended dtb at all, but we can't say for certain until we see the boot
logs.

Please don't do that.  Your board needs kirkwood-dreamplug.dtb,
otherwise it will enumerate a NAND flash that isn't there.


thx,
