Ron,

Where is patch for mkelfImage that can take vmlinux instead of bzImage?

kexec-tools

do i need kexec-boot-loader?

yes

If you look in deploy, for now, you can use the payload, which is built without containing linuxbios or vsa. That is how I got a working payload for ultra40.

What we need to do with buildrom is extend it so we can have a config file for a given platform, that builds the proper kernel AND linuxbios, and has payloads like VSA as an OPTION. I think this is easy. I did it (sort of) for qemu.
