Getting linux kernels >4.1 to boot - Raspberry Pi Forums


for various reasons i'm building pi linux kernel github.com/raspberrypi/linux source. can 4.1 build , boot fine default configuration(bcm2709_defconfig). reason, can't of newer branches boot default configuration. meaning boot hangs @ bootloader color test pattern , don't see of typical kernel debug spew. able 4.2 boot after removed of kernel drivers , subsystems had barebones kernel.

question if else has had success building , booting newer kernel branches default config(bcm2709_defconfig)?

other bits of info:
1. i'm using latest bootloader github.com/raspberrypi/firmware
2. i'm building gcc 5.3.1 on rpi 2 itself(no cross compiling).
3. os i'm using debian sid since it's compiled armv7. i'm not sure that's factor since don't think rpi 2 making far boot sequence. meaning don't think it's making user mode.

just wanted add think solved this.

standard install command of "make install modules_installl" producing corrupt/incomplete initrd file. if after install manually delete initrd file , recreate "update_initramfs -c -k <version>" new kernel boots.
