Why do you need the make statement after make dep?

This may not be your problem - but wouldn't you want to take the System.map
along into the boot directory?

What specific chipset does this board use?  I recently had mixed success
with one of the newer via chipsets (KT333/VT8233A).  Linux detected the
chipset as a KT266 and PCI peripherals only partially worked.  I assume
that you are using lower end hardware for your prjoect but you may want to
make sure that Linux detects the right kind of hardware.
