Adjusting the load address for XU3 resolved the boot failure (changing from memory start + 16M to memory start + 32M which is the default for that board in u-boot/lava as well these days) > I suspect the same problem in the lab-collabora panda boots since the > load address differes from mine in the same way. Correct, tuning the load addresses there results in a happy boot. The kernel does relocate itself on boot if it detects decompression will overwrite itself. On the panda though that seemingly meant the dtb got overwritten, just bumping that out of the way made it boot as well. I didn't check if the same happened on XU3 (which has/had far more space between the kernel and the dtb).. That said, it's far safer (and faster) to avoid running into that corner case :) > @Sjoerd: can someone in lab-collabora maybe have a closer look? > > Kevin -- Sjoerd Simons Collabora Ltd.
