Hello Brad,
hello list,
I got a couple of minutes to play around with our multi platform kernel
on the Utilite device. Since I have a workaround for the u-boot issues,
I am able to load and execute a kernel and debug that.
As expected there are some issues when the device is booting up. The
kernel crashes right at the start. Please see the console output below.
My assumption is that the kernel tries to access the part of the memory
where the device tree file has been copied to by the bootloader. Some
grsec mechanism tries to intervene and kill the kernel. I hope that Brad
can help us with that.
It appears that other systems boot fine with device tree. I currently
cannot confirm that Wandboard which booted with an earlier development
version of kernel still boots. Pandaboard (without device tree) does
boot perfectly.

Thanks for your help in advance.
