AFAIK this does not work on the Pegasos (PowerPC), as an |
| 10 |
uncompressed kernel may be too big for loading. We are |
| 11 |
stucked to about 3.5MB without initramfs and 4.8MB with the |
| 12 |
included initramfs. So we want the zImage or zImage.initrd |
| 13 |
copied over. `make install` might not handle this one. |
