Remove eth node from device tree

Hi,

i want to remove the eth node

eth@e000b000 {....

from the device tree as i am using the pins in a different way. However, as soon as i delete the et node i receive an error while booting saying:

libfdt fdt_path_offset() returned FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND

Any idea why i cant remove this node?

I suspect the problem may be that the default kernel configuration is including the ethernet drivers, and when you remove the hardware from the device tree, you have drivers with no corresponding device. You probably need to change the kernel configuration to disable the ethernet.
