We got this running in a board of ours, it is provided by a script in the initrd, it loads a kernel from NOR then chain loads into kernel provided by rootfs. I guess that would be a separated bug report. Yet another comment, when installing a cross compiled kernel it does not contain an initramfs, so it would be nice if the hook in flash-kernel takes care of it too.
