In any case, I'm doing something wrong: Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. loader> fdt prop /compatible brcm,bcm2836 [also tried fdt prop /compatible "brcm,bcm2836"] Using DTB provided by U-Boot at address 0x100. loader> boot -s Booting... Using DTB provided by U-Boot at address 0x100. Kernel entry at 0x2200180...

The odd thing is that the problem appears with older kernels, not just the latest one, both of which worked reasonably well. That's what made me suspect recent changes to /boot/loader.conf might be the culprit. > The proper fix is something like the following patch, because the RPi > 2B v1.2 (which must be the one you're running here) is actually a No, this is definitely not the 64 bit RPi2, it's the old 32bit one. It did successfully make the transition to armv7 using the RPI2 kernel config, but when that config came up missing "device pass" I decided to try GENERIC, thinking RPI2 was deprecated. The first iteration worked. I know this Pi2 had a short production run, but I've got three more running 11-stable and I don't want to break them on upgrade if I can avoid it. Thanks for the speedy reply and any further suggestions! bob prohaska
