I don't see the relationship between BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_INSTALL_TARGET=y
and changing the offset of the rootfs to avoid rootfs corruption.

All what BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_INSTALL_TARGET=y does it add the kernel image
into the /boot directory of the rootfs. It makes the rootfs larger for
sure, but it would still start at the same place.

Are you sure there's any relationship with
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_INSTALL_TARGET=y here?

Best regards,

Thomas
