Problem dtb file booting Kernel 2.6.32

[Hunter Cobbs]

Hi,

If you're going to attempt to use v1 dts, you might want to try to add


 * option) any later version.
 */

/dts-v1/;

/ {

to your DTS file.  Also, you'll want to prefix all of your hex addresses
with "0x"  so, 200000 = 0x200000

Hope that helps,
Hunter
