> Which release of Ubuntu are we talking about here?

This is a clone of my RPi3 system (disco, IIRC it started out as bionic)
that was upgraded to eoan (on the Pi3).

btw: I've upgraded(?) the EEPROM to the July version
(https://static.raspberrypi.org/files/rpi-boot-eeprom-
recovery-2019-07-15.zip). I don't think this changes anything, but
wanted to mention it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll experiment with my setup when I get
home today and report back. I'm not sure at this moment if it didn't
detect the SD card or if the device names somehow changed. Or if it's
really just the armstub thingy.

Thanks for the headsup. I was planning to use u-boot again in the near
future, anyways. The reason I stopped using it was that there were
several changes of the DTB address about a year ago and there was a
mismatch between the inofficial raspi2-pi3 PPA (0x200) and the default
packages (0x0200000-something) and my config.txt (always had the wrong
one). That broke things on my Raspberrys a few times so I switched to
the u-boot-less config to not have to bother about DTB memory addresses
anymore.

Do you know if booting via u-boot makes the whole 4GB RAM accessible to
the system or is there still a limit of 1GB?
