Package: installation-reports
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: marex@denx.de

I've done several installs now on both a Wandboard Solo and an Novena
board, and u-boot has problems reading the the dtbs subdirectory needed
to load the device-trees, and fails to boot after an otherwise
successful install.

The problem seems to *mostly* be with subdirectories, and since the
device-tree files in stored in /boot/dtbs/${version}/${device}.dtb.

Installs done with jessie and the same u-boot version work fine. Also,
recreating the ext4 filesystem with mkfs.ext4 works fine, even with,
as far as I can tell, identical filesytem flags.

I suspect other boards using u-boot and ext4 filesystem will also have
similar problems.

Comments/Problems:

Network boot and SD card boot worked fine, but initial boot failed due to issues with u-boot being unable to consistantly read the ext4 filesystem.

It's currently working with the u-boot versions in stretch(2016.11+), as
far as I can tell. There appear to be upstream commits addressing 64bit
ext4 issues in u-boot 2016.11, so I'm marking this as closed.
