I didnt completely understand what to do on this part:

Take the u-boot.bin, pad it to 0x40000 bytes. Turn the normal zImage into a uImage
then append to padded u-boot.bin. The total size of the resulting image must be less
than 2MB, which is easily possible using the PR1.2 kernel. Finally flash the new
combined image to N900 like a regular kernel.

You can use builder.py (below) to make the combined image.

Whats the goal..?
Or... how can i do it with Xterm?

Sooo... i got the default N900 kernel (zImage) here along with the u-boot.bin file.
I tried running the script, but it didnt work.
This is the error i get:

Code:

  File "builder.py", line 13
    elif len(kernel) > 0x1c0000
                              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Advice?
