Hi! Mine is a Rev B board, I checked that up. I guess the only difference must be in the flash. You'd have to check up the kernel writing code inside hermit. The patch from Roland Seuhs' page works fine on Rev B, but might need to be reversed(?) or at least modified to get the kernel written.
The loader is written and locked into the flash. The kernel is written without locking afaik and the same goes for the ramdisk. IMO you could try to force writing the Ramdisk, where you should get the same kinda error. Then the obvious change you need is to patch Hermit to write to the flash on that board. It's got Intel L28F320 Flash devices in Rev B. Maybe there's a difference in Rev A and hence the checksumming trouble. I remember having a problem with Hermit when I was downloading my kernel, but that was because of an improperly implemented function to display addresses and sizes of data being written in the current block.
