That's an error resulting from the incorrect machine_id being embedded 
in RedBoot. I have no idea if it's fixed yet officially by TS. See the 
list history for the 2 methods to fix it.

1) just change the machine ID when compiling your kernel
2) dump the mtd device file to a .bin, edit it with hexedit, and replace 
it in the mtd device.

1) is much easier for the average person - I've put up 2 of the same 
kernels that I use (with / without the machine id modification in the 
kernel sources).

http://vaiprime.visibleassets.com/~cfriedt/zImage-2.6-machine-id-0x163

2) means that your kernel is portable if you compile support for more 
than 1 arch, which isn't very common anyway.

Hope that helps ;-)

Good job patching your kernel too (in your later message) - it's a piece 
of cake, no?
