beaglebone: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x00000e05).

hi all,

I have downloaded sources for linux kernel 3.8 and built an uImage to boot it on beaglebone a6 but

while I tried to boot it with board, the image is getting loaded and even getting uncompressed. but then it is getting an error, saying unsupported/unrecognized machine id, and please check your kernel config and/or bootloader.

snap:

Starting kernel …

Uncompressing Linux… done, booting the kernel.

Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x00000e05).

Available machine support:

ID (hex) NAME
ffffffff Generic OMAP4 (Flattened Device Tree)
ffffffff Generic AM33XX (Flattened Device Tree)
ffffffff Generic OMAP3-GP (Flattened Device Tree)
ffffffff Generic OMAP3 (Flattened Device Tree)
0000060a OMAP3 Beagle Board
00000a9d IGEP OMAP3 module
00000928 IGEP v2 board
00000ae7 OMAP4 Panda board

Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader.

thanks,

You need a recent u-boot. Kernel 3.8 will not boot with old version.
