Hello,

I have built kernel 2.6.31.5 with modules and ramdisks for some
combinations of Kirkwood-based devices (Sheevaplug and QNAP TS-[12]19)
and devices carrying the root filesystem. They are available together
with my build scripts at http://fedora.danny.cz/arm/

the kernels are:
uImage-2.6.31.5-kw
uImage-2.6.31.5-kw-ts219
=> U-Boot images, generic, but the -ts219 explicitly sets the correct
machine ID for the QNAP, because otherwise the ID of the related
development board will be used.

more details about the available ramdisks:
- .padded = padded to 9MB which is the size of flash dedicated to
ramdisk on QNAP TS-[12]19
- .uboot = ramdisk converted to an U-Boot image

initrd-2.6.31.5-kw-lvm-sata.img
initrd-2.6.31.5-kw-lvm-sata.img.padded
initrd-2.6.31.5-kw-lvm-sata.img.uboot
=> use on QNAP with root filesystem on HDD(s) with LVM logical volume /dev/Linux/Root

initrd-2.6.31.5-kw-sda1-sata.img
initrd-2.6.31.5-kw-sda1-sata.img.padded
initrd-2.6.31.5-kw-sda1-sata.img.uboot
=> use on QNAP with root filesystem on 1st HDD partition /dev/sda1

initrd-2.6.31.5-kw-sdmmc.img
initrd-2.6.31.5-kw-sdmmc.img.uboot
=> use on Sheevaplug with root filesystem on 1st partition of SD card

initrd-2.6.31.5-kw-usb.img
initrd-2.6.31.5-kw-usb.img.uboot
=> use on Sheevaplug with root filesystem on 1st partition of USB attached storage (/dev/sda1)

and how to test on Sheevaplug with root filesystem on 1st partition of
SD card with network boot:

> tftpboot 0x400000 uImage-2.6.31.5-kw 
> tftpboot 0x800000 initrd-2.6.31.5-kw-sdmmc.img.uboot
> setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 ro'
> bootm 0x400000 0x800000
