Hello,
on armhf we currently face some u-boot-related problems. U-Boot
2016.03 (in unstable and testing) causes kernel hangs under certain
conditions on a number of sunxi platforms. These issues are fixed in
u-boot v2016.05 (latest official release), but v2016.05 has brought
new regressions on the am57xx_evm and firefly-rk3288 platforms, so it
cannot go into the archive as is. For details, please refer to
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825214.
I would be good to have the u-boot issues fixed before we publish the
next d-i release. A possible option would be to backport commit
affa020559bca31d6531e19cb1f009c22705a73d from u-boot 2016.05 to
u-boot 2016.03 and to urgent the result into testing before doing the
d-i release (CCing Vagrant Cascadian, the u-boot maintainer).
Kibi, Vagrant: what's your opinion on the topic?
Regards,
Karsten
