Dear Martin,

Thanks for your feedback!

Unfortunately, I have no LS-WSGL.
But I have LS-WTGL, which use the same orion5x kernel image.

For kirkwood series (LS-WVL, LS-WXL etc), I have confirmed current 4.3
experimental kernel image can boot well after applying the
flash-kernel patch included in this bug report.
However, for orion5x series, I tried on LS-WTGL, it fails to boot. I
may need add some kernel config to support DT from my previous
testing. I'll open another bug regarding to kernel-image on this
later.

BTW. I'll try to port d-i to kirkwood based Linkstation later.

Cheers,
Roger
