Hi sorry for off topic question, but how do you run 3.20 on geode ?
I was not able to boot anything since 2.27 as initrd (I guess udev )
corrupts (I guess memory something) and boot hangs.
One suggested to bisect but no one explained how.
I would be glad to get some hint on how to run kernel with udev support on
geode (means >= 2.27)

thanks
