Dear Maintainers,
Thank you for reverting the ZBOOT option.
I just found this issue while investigating why the 6.13.0 from experimental on the arm64 SolidRun CN9130 based Clearfog Pro board did not boot, when 6.12.12 was perfectly fine:
In the future please take into account also that arm64 boards can still boot using a boot.scr script generated by flash-kernel package.
That script uses "booti" command, meaning the kernel image must match the u-boot hard-coded magic:
#define LINUX_ARM64_IMAGE_MAGIC 0x644d5241
Otherwise boot will fail:

Booting Debian 6.13-arm64 from scsi 0:2...
Bad Linux ARM64 Image magic!
I suggest that "flash-kernel" should be updated if zboot is to be enabled again in the future.
Can you please fill a bug aainst frash-kernel as well (as Bastian
cloned this one for grub as well?)
Regards,
Salvatore
