This is good advice ---^

Also if you update your U-Boot to a current one, there is a patch in
that which allows it to directly boot from ext2 / 3 as well, so you can
get rid of the initial FAT partition.

You can get further with the uImage.bin from there on your FAT
partition.  Currently, our packages don't take care about module
versioning enough.  But I hope the packaging folks will apply a fix for
that shortly.
