Just trying to boot a RPI 3 B+ with 9.0.3
I get the rainbow screen with power symbol. 
This link: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=58151
Says "If you have one of the latest PI 3B+ which won't boot and it keeps stuck on the rainbow screen, while also displaying the under voltage (lightening bolt) icon, and/or the red LED flashing then you are simply are using boot code that is too old. "  "Other OS's users might have to wait for their OS to get an upgrade."
Can anyone confirm if 9.0.3 works with the B+ model?
Regards,
Jason

Hi rockthebox
If the red LED is flashing, your power supply might be too weak. See here:

piCore 9 is not compatible with RPi 3 B+, yo will need piCore 10

Code: [Select]

tce-load -iw TC

Code: [Select]

startx puts up GUI. If ONLY wbar's two righthandmost icons (Terminal and MC) work then add missing file:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -iw fontconfig.tcz to get others like Exit and Editor etc to work.
Not sure if missing file belongs with piCore-9.0.3 or TC but it took half a day to find a solution especially as piCore-7 worked without adding the missing file.
