Hi everyone, with barebox-2017.04.0 everything works fine on my Phytec phyFlex i-mx6 module. Since barebox-2017.05.0, I am running into a kernel panic when booting. (tested with the provided tar-archive, and with the actual version from git) This is my command line: commandline: maxcpus=4 console=ttymxc3,115200n8 root=ubi0:root ubi.mtd=root-f rootfstype=ubifs r With barebox-2017.05.0, I am missing the output when creating the mtd-partitions: [ 1.231388] nand: device found, Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0xd3 [ 1.237805] nand: Samsung NAND 1GiB 3,3V 8-bit [ 1.242274] nand: 1024MiB, SLC, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64 [ 1.263911] gpmi-nand 112000.gpmi-nand: driver registered. finally, the boot fails due to the missing partitions: [ 1.883856] UBIFS error (pid 1): ubifs_mount: cannot open "ubi0:root", error -19 [ 1.893234] VFS: Cannot open root device "ubi0:root" or unknown-block(0,0): error -19 [ 1.903126] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: [ 1.913717] 1f00 1048576 mtdblock0 (driver?)

I ran into the same problem. It is due to barebox fixing up the partitions in the device tree to use the "new" format by default before booting the kernel, but the new format is incompatible with older Linux kernels, such as LTSI-4.1 based kernels.
There is a new global var 'global.of_partition_binding' to control this. It can be set to one of the values "new", "legacy", or "donttouch". You probably need to set it to either "legacy" or "donttouch". (I have it set to "donttouch" because the partitions are already correct in my Linux device tree, and I'd probably update the kernel and the dtb file at the same time in my rootfs.)
