Oh, interesting, so I've finally made the jump on my trimslice from
the stock kernel to 3.8.7-201.fc18.armv7hl.tegra

I've got things working, but this was not a smooth ride. The wiki
is wrong wrt the instructions for putting the dtb in place, it says:

###

ln -s /boot/dtb-<kernel-version> /boot/dtbs

For example for 'kernel-tegra-3.7.5-202.fc18.armv7hl'

ln -s /boot/dtb-3.7.5-202.fc18.armv7hl.tegra /boot/dtbs

###

But in uboot /boot is / so it should be a relative symlink
to work in both environments!

I know it is a wiki, so I've already updated it :) I just wanted to
make sure others reading this thread are aware of this too.

Regards,

Hans
