Today's maintenance update:
ftp://icaftp.epfl.ch/pub/people/almesber/misc/bootimg-6.tar.gz
This cleans up the code a bit and fixes a few embarrassing but apparently benign bugs. bootimg(8) now also checks a flag in the target kernel (if zImage or bzImage) that indicates whether it supports being booted by bootimg, so you have to update any old targets to bootimg-6 (there's no check for ELF or plain binary, but, of course, if they don't support being booted by bootimg, they won't work either).

P.S. No luck with my attempt to boot monster kernels (>> 1 MB compressed) yet, though. But this is probably not directly related to bootimg.
