Hi, no answers received :-( so I'll share what I found myself. > Some questions: > 1) Would it magically work to install linux-image-3.2.0-3-iop32x from > tesing or would I need to put the zImage file through YMODEM and > modify boot_script_data? After attaching debian backports and using apt-get install the 3.2.0-3 kernel it actually worked magically. Like on a PC. I don't know how the actual kernel got updated. Is it the .deb post install scripts updating mtd where I previously loaded the zImage or did it actually fetch it from /dev/md0 where I have / (root)

Considering point above, I could just install experimental 3.5 kernel images, which are available. For a vanilla kernel (which I'm trying at the moment) I am using www.emdebian.org to crosscompile to ARM. Not sure if make-kpkg will produce a good .deb file for ARM though... > 3) Are there any tutorials on this, including compiling a kernel for a > different arch ?

Cross compiling seems to be the answer, which means using www.emdebian.org and adding ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu-eabi- to make commands.
