HI all,
Perhaps a bit off topic, Ive gotten Wheezy up and running on Panda ES -
4460,
Ive seen in /lib/modules you have a 3.11 rc6 candidate. my questions are:
1. hows the status of this one?
2. id like to know the version of u-boot used to build it
3. the LOADADDR value used for the uImage / any other info
4. the boot.scr values used for bootm etc.
Ive had many issues with kernel beyond 3.7 / 3.8 myself
Regards
Nigel
