I think that you should start out with something of the sub-netbook type. These are the next generation and coming up very soon. For a home computer you need at least dual core and at those speeds it will need a very low price and small footprint. If you could sneak in on the sub-net quick perhaps

If you ignore the VMLINUX_SYMBOL, the only difference is moving the ALIGN inside the brackets. If I move the ALIGN back where it was, then the warning goes away. But other sections moved the ALIGN without an issue. Could it be a compiler problem? We are using version 4.0.0 (DENX ELDK 4.1 4.0.0).
