Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately, I wasn't clear on where my |
| 25 |
problem is. :( |

I did succeed in getting the kernel small enough, however, the board's |
| 28 |
bootloader doesn't recognize the kernel as being a valid kernel image. |
| 29 |
I tried every image I listed in the OP. |

| 31 |
When building embedded ppc, is there some special thing to do to create |
| 32 |
a proper kernel image? |
| 33 |

| 34 |
Thanks, and sorry for the confusion. |
