Tim,

I'm almost done with getting kernel working with latest raspberry Pi =
firmware. Just need
to figure out how to make ubldr pass FDT pointer from u-boot to kernel =
and handle=20
/reserve/ information in ARM machdep code.=20

Meanwhile I suggest editing .dts file manually. Fill out "display" node =
properties with proper
display resolution and depth. Also add ukbd driver. That should get you =
working console.=20=
