Dockstar booting probllem (5 replies)

Hey

after a long time my dockstar rebooted and I realized that I must have left the kernel in limbo :)
to fix everything I reverted to some backup and then from there installed the latest u-boot. in netconsole i can boot the old kernel (3.16) when I run setenv dtb_file.
can't get any new stuff to work though.

Starting kernel ...

At this point there's a solid orange LED for 4s or so and then solid green light. With both kernels USB hard drive stops spinning once the kernel is loaded.. With old kernel a short time after the green light the kernel mounts the hdd again, and init commences indicated by hard drive access. boot finishes successfully as I can log in.
But with new kernel there is no access to the HDD any more after the orange and then green light go on.

Any ideas?
