FYI, the 2 lines:

> No valid device tree blob found!
> Warning! Trying to fire up the kernel, but no device tree blob found!

are normal messages for ACPI booting. They are not error messages and
do not indicate a stop of the ACPI-based boot sequence.

I've never liked that working ACPI booting puts out those 2 messages.
