As Jason state, 3.0.29 is a kernel that has been heavily patched by
Marvell, so you should consult your Marvell support to get help with
this kernel. We do only support the mainline kernel for the Armada 370
and Armada XP platforms. Do not hesitate to get back to us if you face
similar issues with the mainline kernel.
