  So, what are you missing exactly? zImage or all kernel stuff be
included in the image?

  Anyway, when reporting something about OE, need to include 2
things - MACHINE (here) and DISTRO (no). As OE is meta-distro (so to
say), behavior may differ between the specific distros.

  All I can say is that for DISTRO="angstrom-2007.1",
Angstrom-opie-image-test-20061030-h4000.rootfs.tar.bz2 contains both
zImage and modules. For
Angstrom-opie-image-test-20061026-hx4700.rootfs.tar.bz2 , zImage is
not there, but that's because linux-handhelds-2.6.bb explicitly asked
for that to be so (which is inconsistent hack, removing zImage from
rootfs should be handled another way).

  I review the settings for h2200, and don't see, why behavior should
be different from h4000. I'll build angstrom-opie image for it as time
permits.

  So, let us know what DISTRO you use and look yourself what it does
which can lead to that.
