Of course I missed something. ;-) If the flash layout is changed in the kernel, you also need to change the load addresses / size in u-boot. Our philosophy so far has been not to change u-boot on these NAS devices (neither the boot loader itself nor the config), so people can easily go back to the original firmware. Since the QNAP devices are no longer supported by the vendor, I think changing u-boot is okay. Then users would have a choice: either stay on buster, or upgrade with the caveat that recovery is harder (the QNAP recovery mode doesn't restore the u-boot config). -- Martin Michlmayr https://www.cyrius.com/
