No, I haven't made any hardware mods yet.

Thanks for the offer.  Kernel binaries might actually help, just to make 
sure the hardware and bootloader are working properly.

The instructions on 
http://www.linuxnotincluded.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/linkstation/u-bootinstall.html 
were a little broken in a few places, but still very helpful.  I've got 
U-boot 1.1.4 up and running.  It's just booting the old 2.4.17_mvl21 
from flash right now... 2.6.20-rc2 fails to boot.

I have ordered some serial port voltage converters, which I hope to use 
to get some diagnostics from the 2.6.20-rc2 kernel.  I don't hear any 
disk activity, and I wasn't able to get netconsole working, so I think 
it is dying fairly early in the boot process.  (At least, before PCI and 
network are up.)
