I'm still getting the same "Could not find a valid device tree" failure
on the model B+.

I've tried running vcdbg but got the following error from the kernel

    vc_mem_mmap: length 4096 is too big

vcdbg itself then said:

    debug_sym: AccessVideoCoreMemory: mmap failed: Invalid argument(22)
    debug_sym: OpenVideoCoreMemoryFileWithOffset: ReadVideoCoreMemory @VC_SYMBOL_BASE_OFFSET (0x00002800) failed

    Unable to open videocore memory access: -5

This was after adding "dtdebug=on" to config.txt

Not sure where to go next with this. I might need to go off on a Yak
shaving mission and find out why the mmap is failing.

Thanks,
Paul
