Hi,
Since 2.6.35-rc1 is out, I've already started working on updated ams_delta_defconfig, to get it ready for inclusion on time.
As usually with every new release lately, the current ams_delta_defconfig, even with modifications that I failed to push for 2.6.34 already integrated, gives a kernel that is too big for our old boot loader. From my previous experience I can tell that it should be at most 1795kB to boot without problems. For bigger kernels, I always get kernel checksum verification error reported by u-boot. That's why I fiddle with defconfig for every new release.
Starting with 2.6.35, there is a chance we can get a defconfig that will result in small enough krenel (1348kB instead of 1812kB) for several releases without touching it now and again. For this, we should use LZMA method for kernel image compression instead of previous GZIP. The drawback is that it will take extra several seconds to decompress the kernel while booting. I hope this extra delay will be acceptable for you.
If anyone has any other idea how we could modify the current (2.6.34 or 2.6.35-rc1) ams_delta_defconfig for smaller kernel, than please post it here.
Thanks, Janusz
