This old kernel does obviously not have device-tree support. Here's the error message I get: # uname -a Linux speaker 3.0.4 #1 PREEMPT Fri Nov 23 09:15:39 CET 2012 armv5tel GNU/Linux # kexec --append="console=ttyS0,115200 root=ubi0:RootFS rootfstype=ubifs rw ubi.mtd=3" /boot/uImage --force unrecoverable error: could not scan "/proc/device-tree/": No such file or directory Looks like the release candidate depends on the very latest kernel features and won't work on older kernels? Is that intentional?
