That being said, the modification you suggested is something I would gladly work on once I get my kindle running again!


However, my issue is that I can't get any u-boot.bin file that I have compiled on my system to boot, even one that was produced from amazon's unmodified source code.

I have tried on multiple machines on multiple os'es, so I assume I am missing something here.
Have you tried eureka's u-boot?
