using kernels bigger than 1966080 bytes on the nslug with slugimage



hi,

i have a weird problem trying to build a d-i-nslu2.bin image with
slugimage that is supposed to carry a kernel binary of a size of 1978300
bytes ...

as i understand by looking at the d-i code that generates di-nslu2.bin
there are 49 blocks of 131072 bytes each available for the kernel and
initramfs. 
using the same commands as used in debian-installer in
build/config/armel/ixp4xx/netboot.cfg manually i can roll a working
image as long as my kernel partition doesnt exceed 15 blocks (1966080
bytes) ... 
as soon as i switch to 16 blocks (2097152 bytes which is needed for the
above kernel size) apex gets stuck at copying the kernel, after a day of
digging top to bottom through slugimage and apex i still dont understand
why this limitation exists, could someone enlighten me ? 

ciao
	oli
