After no readily available info about the kindles u-boot turned up after a web search, I decided to take a break from working on this niche task.

I gonna try flashing the kernel like this rather than merely booting it as that would require making an extra configuration file. I would - after backing up everything - flash the kernel, replace the modules for the kernel (USB storage can't be built into the kernel, only built as a module. Also symvers would be changed), then boot and test USB storage support. Is this correct?
