The kirkwood kernel is just under 2MB, so there's no way the uImage
could be 5M. This is enforced at kernel build time see
linux/debian/config/armel/defines which has:
[kirkwood_image]
recommends: uboot-mkimage
# SheevaPlug: 4194304 - 8 - 64 = 4194232
# QNAP TS-119/TS-219: 2097152 - 8 - 64 = 2097080
check-size: 2097080
Maybe we are talking about uInitrd/uRamdisk?
