Yes, definitely upstream is the better choice for our requirements (getting KVM going). I spent a good deal of time yesterday trying to run the upstream, sunxi-next, sunxi-next-a20-smp and sunxi-devel kernels on the Cubietruck (A20). The kernels all compile OK, but I had no success booting any of them. It seems to hang very early on, before even uncompressing the kernel. Does anyone have a working boot.cmd for the Cubietruck with an upstream kernel? Or even a description of the process of booting?
