question for mandar : what kernel is used in the bananapi image generation at the moment ? I dont think its actually using the kernel from the rpm in distro at all!
For Banana Pi, the stock CentOS kernel i.e. the one from the repositories Fabian has created is being used. Kernel version is 4.0.0-1.el7.armv7hl Just to add to this: The U-Boot being used has been compiled from git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git
For your Bananapi R1/Lamobo R1, from what I've read so far, two bits are missing from the standard repos 1. U-Boot 2. Driver for the switch I had looked for a U-Boot for the R1 when you first posted the question and found this page http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/09/07/banana-pi-debian-sd-image/
