Followup: Yeah, it looks like it just doesn't know which format of
zImage to produce for linkstation.
I'm not sure what image should be used by default. I guess it depends
on the bootloader. Maybe default to uImage, as uBoot seems to be fairly
common on these devices?

Yes, uImage is the format used on linkstation. Is there a way to cleanly
specify this in the kernel sources apart from a comment in Kconfig?
Thanks

Thanks for the patch. Are you actually going to test this kernel on a real
hardware or just testing builds? If it is going to be a real life test,
I'd be interested to know what exactly hardware, U-boot version, dts, and
what results.
BTW, ack-ing your patch would be a bit easier if you sent it inline.

Yes, I do very much intend to test it on real hardware. I have a couple
of Kurobox HGs which desperately need a 21st century kernel. I still
need to install U-boot on it, but first I'm just going to test the
vmlinux with the loader.o kernel module. (And my rs232 voltage
converters haven't gotten here yet, so I'm being a little conservative
about all of this.)

Yeah, thunderbird sucks for this stuff. Keep nagging me and I'll set up
mutt again. :) Thanks!

Ah, what a pity:-) I mean, it is good, but it's exactly the same hardware
I developed this port for and tested on. So, it should be easy. If you
have any problems with your setup, look in linkstation / kurobox mailing
list archives, I posted some instructions there for setting up a suitable
u-boot version. Or just ask me. Or I could even just send you binaries to
start with. Do you have JTag?...
Thanks
