Since I'm working on custom hardware I have the luxury of an 8Meg flash that I can program from Linux using my own utils. As such, when I build a system, I don't build the kernel with linuxbios. However, (at least for the version of linuxbios I'm still using) linuxbios Makefiles assume that a kernel is needed for building a full rom image when all I actually want is a 64K block that is only linuxbios. I have managed by touching a few files that it considers necessary dependencies (but are not ) and by using make on selected targets. With this I am able to build just linuxbios without a kernel image. I build the kernel image separately. If it doesn't get done before I get updated, I will be submitting patches to allow simple creation of just linuxbios and make building full rom images with kernels optional. I am mentioning this now because Ron's problem above is related in that the linuxbios makefile assumes too great a scope.
