The generic kernels are too large to be booted by the stock bootloader, as the boot partition is only 16 MiB. While this commit increases the kernel size you can use today, the linux-postmarketos kernels are still too big to boot from extlinux.conf until the [boot memory increase of lk2nd][1] is released. lk2nd also provides a better fastboot implementation which doesn't fully-buffer the image to be written, and thus can write larger images than the stock bootloader. Forcing fastboot mode requires [flo support in lk2nd][2], which also requires a lk2nd release. Right now you'll only get the better fastboot when lk2nd fails to find a kernel, which means a dance like "use stock bootloader to wipe userdata, then start to lk2nd". The reason to keep android image support is just for netbooting which makes testing easier. But netbooting does _not_ work with lk2nd right now as lk2nd has trouble finding the dtb for some reason; use the stock boot loader when running "pmbootstrap flasher boot". Changing flash_offset_ramdisk is to give more space for the kernel to decompress. 1. https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/lk2nd/pull/703 2. https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/lk2nd/pull/697 Part-of: <https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/9031>
