[Avila] Redboot Upgrade

Hi,

I have two questions:

1- When we upgrade to new redboot that comes with BSP 0.7.1, it is 
complaining about "corrupt EEPROM" and tries to write values to EEPROM. Is 
this process automatic, in other words can I upgrade the Redboot on a remote 
system without any user interaction?
Also what would it take to write to the EEPROM location before upgrade so it 
does not complain and what is the data structure?

2- The new kernel is uncompatible with older Redboot due to machine id I 
guess. How can I modify this new kernel so it can work with old and new 
Redboot at the sametime? That way I do not need to worry about upgrading 
redboot on remote systems.

Thanks,
Ahmet
