Does flash-kernel install the kernel, but the result doesn't boot
because the new kernel doesn't work, or is the problem that flash-kernel
isn't installint it, or not installaing it to the right place?
Or can't you tell?
You need to work out wether you have a flash-kernel problem or a
broken-kernel problem. Try flashing known-working kernel with new
flash-kernel? And/or manually booting new kernel to see if it works at all.
Some more details of what you see might give us clues (not that I've
ever used a dreamplug so can;t help with specifics)
