for building this outdates build you might need to use older gcc:

  sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 /usr/bin/gcc
  gcc -v
  ....
  gcc version 4.1.3 20080623 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-24ubuntu1)

!! compute padding side from FLASHsize - uboot = rootfs (HEX) - use gcacl ;)

kernel must be <= 1024kb (gzip might help a bit)

  gzip -9 linux.bin
  mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a a0008000 -e a0008000 -n "oe-koala/verdex" -d zuImage-2.6.29.4-k0a1a-r3.gz zuImage-2.6.29.4-k0a1a-r3.bin
