Repack CM12.1 boot.img using mkbootimg

[galets]

Can someone point out what am I doing wrong? I am trying to repack boot.img, but resulting image will not boot. I built mkbootimg/unpackbootimg from source found here: https://github.com/osm0sis/mkbootimg . Then I do following:

$ mkdir boot2
$ ../unpackbootimg -i boot.img -o boot2
BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 zcache androidboot.bootdevice=msm_sdcc.1
BOARD_KERNEL_BASE 80200000
BOARD_NAME 
BOARD_PAGE_SIZE 2048
BOARD_KERNEL_OFFSET 00008000
BOARD_RAMDISK_OFFSET 01500000
BOARD_TAGS_OFFSET 00000100

This unpacks boot.img into:

$ ls -l boot2
total 7360
-rw-rw---- 1 galets galets       9 Apr 22 08:59 boot.img-base
-rw-rw---- 1 galets galets       1 Apr 22 08:59 boot.img-board
-rw-rw---- 1 galets galets      81 Apr 22 08:59 boot.img-cmdline
-rw-rw---- 1 galets galets       9 Apr 22 08:59 boot.img-kerneloff
-rw-rw---- 1 galets galets       5 Apr 22 08:59 boot.img-pagesize
-rw-rw---- 1 galets galets  663238 Apr 22 08:59 boot.img-ramdisk.gz
-rw-rw---- 1 galets galets       9 Apr 22 08:59 boot.img-ramdiskoff
-rw-rw---- 1 galets galets       9 Apr 22 08:59 boot.img-tagsoff
-rw-rw---- 1 galets galets 6842760 Apr 22 08:59 boot.img-zImage

Then I repackage files without any modification:

$ ../mkbootimg --kernel boot2/boot.img-zImage \
>              --ramdisk boot2/boot.img-ramdisk.gz \
>              --cmdline "androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 zcache androidboot.bootdevice=msm_sdcc.1" \
>              --base 0x80200000 \
>              --pagesize 2048 \
>              --output boot2.img
$ ../boot_info boot2.img 
Page size: 2048 (0x00000800)
Kernel size: 6842760 (0x00686988)
Ramdisk size: 663238 (0x000a1ec6)
Second size: 0 (0x00000000)
Board name: 
Command line: 'androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 zcache androidboot.bootdevice=msm_sdcc.1'
Base address: 2149580800 (0x80200000)

For comparison, original boot:

$ ../boot_info boot.img 
Page size: 2048 (0x00000800)
Kernel size: 6842760 (0x00686988)
Ramdisk size: 663238 (0x000a1ec6)
Second size: 0 (0x00000000)
Board name: 
Command line: 'androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 zcache androidboot.bootdevice=msm_sdcc.1'
Base address: 2149580800 (0x80200000)

All seems fine. Then I flash it:

$ heimdall flash --BOOT boot2.img 
Heimdall v1.4.0
