The support for the OpenRD systems has been converted to Flattened Device Tree
rather than being baked in to the Kernel.
Please refer section 3 ('Kernel and boot-time configuration') and
section 5 ('Booting the Slackware ARM
OS') of the '/INSTALL_KIRKWOOD.TXT'
OS installation document to change your U-Boot settings.
This also means that all of the Kirkwood kernels now require the FDT blob to
be appended to the Kernel zImage prior to a corresponding uImage being created.
The 'fdt-selector' script can be used to assist with this: see section 2.5
('Selecting the appropriate Flattened Device Tree blob') of the
'/INSTALL_KIRKWOOD.TXT'
OS installation document for more information.
SheevaPlug users who have updated to the previous kernels need take no action -
this information is purely for people who have OpenRD systems.
