I tried to follow the instructions here, specifically the ones titles "Flashing over SSH/Ethernet." Turns out they kinda of worked. Everything went through without an error. The only problem was on the reboot, I got the following error:

Ouch. After a deep breath, I realized that it booted the new u-boot, so I now needed to follow the new instructions for verdex boards and gumstix after 1326 (where do you find out your damn version??). Anyways, I then did the following from ckermit:

Cool!
A couple of notes: I had to delete several suprious "-e"s in my modprobe.conf file and also in /etc/network/interfaces. Supposedly these are due to ubuntu symlinking /bin/sh to dash instead of bash. i deleted the symlink and remade it directly to bash instead and rebuilt -- all is good.

Also, because the kernel is now loaded in a separate part of flash (I think) and the bootloader doesn't have to search for it, boot up times are much, much faster.
