    While updating U-Boot is always an option, the images we make
    _should_ work with existing firmware.  We need to look for better
    ways to make the images.

            I just tried the Kirkwood image and it didn't work because
            the 1st

            partition is EXT and not FAT.  UBoot on my GuruPlug doesn't
            support

            that.

            
            Also note that I suspect I'm also running into a known
            kernel bug with

            the F17 release:  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42680

            Unfortunately I don't know if there is a workaround for
            this, especially

            considering that uImage-kirkwood reports that it is not
            compressed:

            
            /media/boot/uImage-kirkwood: u-boot legacy uImage,
            3.4.2-3.fc17.armv5tel.kirkwood, Linux/ARM, OS Kernel Image
            (Not compressed), 3291832 bytes, Mon Jun 18 00:58:01 2012,
            Load Address: 0x00008000, Entry Point: 0x00008000, Header
            CRC: 0xCDB8004D, Data CRC: 0x6C6E299A

            
            Any ideas?
