Did you dd the Cubietruck uboot? I have booted on my C3.
Though there may be a 1st boot problem here on things that are copied
during 1st boot based on what uboot is present. In that case, things
are really hard, and quite beyond my limited skills.

Well, after much trial and tribulation I got to the point I could nfs
mount the CentOS 6.0 i386 iso image and try an install.
So I stuck in the net install CD (latest from CentOS), mounted the nfs
iso image and gave it several shots.
It goes swimmingly until I click "write disks".
Then there's a kernel panic. This with both the graphic and text mode
installs.
As mentioned, I've not yet researched/figured how I might capture this
from my KVM. I've got some 5.x and 6.0 (with cr updates) and windows
units available on my homegroannetwork LAN if there's a way to do it
over a network.
I've got some old serial cables (and various null modem ones and/or
adapters) and Wyse-60 terminals but I don't even know yet if I can boot
this with output to a serial port.
I'll be checking that.
If someone has figured out how to capture the output in my situation
during initial system install, I'm all "ears".
The system still boots the old CentOS 4.8 (first boots in around a ...
year(?)) and I did dmidecode and a couple other short commnds that I
hope is enough for someone to offer further direction or suggestions.
Apologies for the size but it's been so long since I did any low-level
stuff I was afraid I'd snip something important.
I tried, based on *old* memories, adding kernel arguments of noapic and
nolapic (IIRC). Still no joy.
TIA for any thoughts,
Bill
