U-Boot for the LinkStation v2 will load "non U-Boot" kernels. The mips kernels don't start at relative address 0 in the file so a normal or gzip-ed ELF kernel image is required. You will need to replace your module utils with the ones in module-init-tools-3.3-pre1.tar.gz. Rename your old ones and untar the package in /. The utils in the package will work with 2.4 kernels. ---- vmlinux-2.6.22.ls2.gz -> created by Linuxnotincluded ---- linux-2.6.22-ls2-w2.tar.gz -> created by weini copied from readme: "My only addition are some more lines in the config file (based on the config.ls2.modules from LNI). This kernel has FUSE support and the device mapper interface and iSCSI available as modules."
