Record successful test with my QNAP TS-419P

[TBBle]

It booted back up okay, but I haven't yet done the upgrade to bullseye. I also had earlier XZ-compressed by initrd from the instructions here because after the upgrade to buster, the initrd image was slightly too large.

Anyway, thank you for this tool, particularly since Buster didn't get LTS support for the QNAP Kirkwood NASes, and Stretch LTS ended two months ago.

thank you for reporting

Just in case anyone comes across this from web-searching or tracing the committed success note, I've successfully upgraded to Buster, and flashing the larger kernel went fine (I didn't pin the buster kernel, since I'd already applied the MTD resize).

The flash update log:
