Ok. Well, it could have something compiled into the kernel which differs.

Ok.

Hm. Would be interesting to try a bitwise copy of your SD card on one
of my GTA04 boards... But that is usually in the GByte range so uploading
through FTP takes a lot of time&bandwidth...

I want to do similar tests tomorrow by trying to mix 4.3 and 4.7-rc5
kernel/modules.

BR and thanks,
