It's probably necessary as on other Kirkwood devices as to generate an
uImage / uInitrd.

Sure thing; let's figure out your device specifics and add them to the
flash-kernel database; could you send your /proc/cpuinfo? I'm a bit
surprized that flash-kernel is running at all since it should detect an
unsupported machine and bail out. Also do you have a
/proc/device-tree/model file?
How did you install Debian on the device and what's the expected root
device?
