Please check the build payload for amd64.
It includes: IDE, and SATA(nvidia). And only 32kbytes left. ---- assume 1Mbytes space, and linuxbios will use 96kbytes.
Todo:
put the kexec tools into the initrd... (32kbytes)
Hope to use ron't update mkelfImage to get more 32kbytes for kexec tools

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

you want this.
kernel kexec-boot-loader
you want this
kexec-tools mkelfimage uclibc
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.
