I recommend to attach a USB-to-Serial Adaptor to your Cubieboard/Cubietruck/Marsboard, so that you see if there are any problems. If you don't know what this all means, please do not install it and wait for already prepared distribution for an easy installation. Installation variant 1 (most basic) with an external computer: A) Use the Hybrid SD Card Image by www.stefanius.de B) mount both partiations (boot and root) C) copy and overwrite uImage (inside boot/) to your sd-card boot-partition and overwrite the the existing uImage file (which could be named like: uImage.3.4.79-sun7i+ ) D) move 3.4.104-sun7i+ (inside modules/) to (your sd-card root-partition)/lib/modules Note: Ensure that the owner and permission of (your sd-card-root-partition)/lib/modules are all the same (generally it is root:root). Installation variant 2 when the Stefanius Image is already running and you do this installation on the machine directly: A) sudo -s (and keep running as root) B) mkdir -p /mnt/bootpartition (create a directory for mounting the boot partition) C) mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 to /mnt/bootpartition D) cp -Rp modules/3.4.104-sun7i+ /lib/modules (copy the new modules to /lib/modules ) E) chown -R root:root /lib/modules/3.4.104-sun7i+ (set the owner to root) F) ls -lF /mnt/bootpartition/uImag* (check for the right uImage you have in your boot partition. It should be uImage.3.4.79-sun7i+, but align in (G) is needed) G) cp boot/uImage /mnt/bootpartition/uImage.3.4.79-sun7i+ (overwrite the existing uImage with the new uImage) E) umount /mnt/bootpartition F) sync G) reboot -p Advanced installation notes: Instead of overwriting, I would suggest to keep both: the original uImage and the new uImage side by side in the boot partition. Even better it would be a customized u-boot to select one or the other uImage. Notes when using NAND: If you are using nand, please note, that this kernel is naming the nand partitions as /dev/nand1, /dev/nand2 etc. (Not /dev/nanda ...). You can still use this kernel, but ensure that uEnv.txt is aligned. i.e. nandb = nand2 , nadnc= nand3
