Since my Mele A2000 keeps locking up when using the 3.4 kernel (as reported here several months ago), I decided I should try the sunxi-next kernel (my machine can be headless, it just needs USB and SATA support, basically).
So I got the sunxi-next branch from Github's linux-sunxi. Then did make sunxi_defconfig LOADADDR=0x40008000 make uImage dtbs (note: this was run under Debian "stable" armhf on my Mele A2000) then copied the files to my SD card. Then at U-Boot's prompt I did: ext2load mmc 0 0x46000000 uImage ext2load mmc 0 0x49000000 sun4i-a10-a1000.dtb env set fdt_high ffffffff bootm 0x46000000 - 0x49000000 Admittedly, there's no initramfs set, but I figured I'll see about that later. Problem is, this doesn't give me much. I get: ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 46000000 ... Image Name: Linux-3.14.0-rc5-00084-ge8176a3 Created: 2014-03-26 12:57:21 UTC Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) Data Size: 1784832 Bytes = 1.7 MiB Load Address: 40008000 Entry Point: 40008000 Verifying Checksum ...

OK Using Device Tree in place at 49000000, end 49006bde Starting kernel ... and that's it: no more output after that. I'm using the U-Boot that comes with the "Fedora 19 remix", and my "uEnv.txt" says "console=ttyS0,115200". With the 3.4 kernel, I usually get output starting with [ 0.000000] CPU: ARMv7 Processor [413fc082] revision 2 (ARMv7), cr=10c5387d any idea what might be going on? Is there a problem with the build itself so Linux doesn't even get to outputting this first line. Or is it outputting it somewhere else? Or did I get unlucky with a transient problem in sunxi-next?
