Huh? I'm away from my Ebony right now, so I cannot check which 
OpenBIOS version it has but I never heard about KDI. 

Image generated by the `make bzImage` in 2.4 or 2.6 official 
kernel should be bootable on Ebony with original IBM firmware.

Why do you think IBM firmware requires LynuxWorks special image? This 
sounds like a nonsense, frankly.
