I can't believe that I am posting this but (after running Linux on x5000 and a1222)
I have sucessfully installed Ubuntu to /dev/sda
I can't boot Linux on Sam460.
I am using your uImage and sam460.dtb via tftp server..
tftp 1000000 uImage-460
tftp 2000000 sam460.dtb
bootm 1000000 2000000
I get the wrong ramdisk image format error..
I tried kernel 4.5 and canyonlands.dtb
Same error.
What am I missing ?

It should be
bootm 1000000 - 2000000
of course.

Where did you get the kernel 4.5?!?!?
I'm using 4.9 and 4.14 here without problems. maybe ramdisk nvar is "broken", mine is:
bootargs=root=/dev/sda11 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0
maybe you have some filesystem problem, where yout tftp files are.

Is it possible that files you download and or transfer between machines are being corrupted ?

It was a typing error. I missed "-" in bootm 1000000 - 2000000
Now I can run Ubuntu 16.
But Ubuntu 16 is very slow on Sam460..CPU is like 50% when idle and when there is action (like compiling) it reaches to 99%
Do you have the same problem ?
And also btw, does the Sam460 kernel supports KVM ?
Thanks.

Yes Linux GUI is slow on the Sam460ex as there is no hardware acceleration .
Have not been using Linux on my Sam460ex as I could not get Radeon Rx cards to boot.
See the Posting below for the source on info on KVM.
I never tried it myself and I don know if he left it in but you know who to ask .

@Spectre660
I compiled kernel 4.14.91 without any errors with the KVM enabled.
However I can’t boot the kernel with sam460.dtb file.
Do I need to create a new dtb file ?
I tried using
make uImage dtbs
But that did not work..
Any ideas ?

@seventhwonder
The .dtb should not make a diffeernce .
Use
make uImage canyonlands.dtb
Did you apply the patches (sam460ex_4.14.patch) prior to compiling ?
