linux-imx6-3.14.78-1 not booting cubox4x4 (Starting kernel..

Hello all,

After some time I wanted to try kernel upgrade, but it failed to boot again. I am still running 3.14.58-1 which boots and works OK..

Trying to boot with 3.14.78-1 I am getting on serial console/HDMI TV only this:

U-Boot SPL 2013.10-rc4 (Nov 05 2015 - 12:59:56)

Starting kernel ...


And it end's up there, no further input on serial console, HDMI connected TV just blacks-out. Also ethernet link is not bought up. I guess it just cannot start the kernel.

I have got the same issue when last time tried to upgrade to 3.14.69-1 referenced here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=10301

Root fs resides on external e-sata ssd disk and after upgrading my system with pacman -Syu I just manually copy contents of /boot to the SD card…

To get system boot again, I just have to replace bzImage with 3.14.58-1 version..

Many thanks for any help, I'm not sure if this is somehow connected to uboot, kernel or anything else...

Not sure how to find the u-boot version properly, so here is what i've found via the strings:

[root@localhost /]# strings boot/u-boot.img | head
U-Boot 2013.10-rc4 for mx6_cubox

Pacman -Qs uboot-cubox-i

The reason i askis because there were some changes in the kernel packaging when we updates to the newer 3.14 kernel tree and the older uboot would not pick a dtb file so boot would hang. Try installing the package mentioned above and see if it helps

When i try pacman -Ss uboot and looking for cubox then I can see only this:

alarm/uboot-cubox 2009.08-1
U-Boot for Cubox (Dove)
alarm/uboot-cubox-i 2013.10-5 [installed]
U-Boot for all Cubox-i variants

It seems I have the latest version installed? Sorry for my ignorance I'm not so familiar with Arch packages yet.. (but trying to get better :) ).

Thank you
