Oh, I thought you had a QNAP - I mixed that.

Is there a reason to use altboot.img? A Synology should be happy with
a plain altboot.bin.

Loading altboot from flash, via kermit-protocol or tftp should make
no difference. But maybe it does on your hardware? I don't understand
that.

No. Now I'm convinced we have a compiler problem.

After compiling the current altboot source with gcc 4.1.3 (which was the
default compiler before August) it starts working again for me!

Please try it yourself:
