Hum, interesting. the kernel binary package i built had Depends: initramfs-tools | linux-initramfs-tool i think, so it hadn't even occurred to me to try it without the initramfs. looks like the debian-built ones have that too: http://packages.debian.org/sid/linux-image-2.6.32-5-kirkwood Maybe that dependency should be dropped? Initramfs is nice to have for recovery situations, but uboot seems to be flexible enough to pull in such a thing via other means if i need it, so it'd be great to not have the update-initramfs churn on new-kernel installation. If the uImage remains < 2MiB, it might be possible to even have a backup kernel stashed in the top half of /dev/mtd1 --dkg
