Hi All,
I have now managed to get the image to be read in and kernel image uncompressed etc. I am getting the problem where it hangs after Uncompression though. My previous issue with Bad Magic Number errors was due to the compilation of the mkimage tool. It was producing images with the wrong endianness in the header. Not sure if this may still be my problem tho :)
I have tried both settings of clocks_in_mhz and have made sure that I copied u-boot.h from uboot to ppcboot.h in Linux. I have made sure that IMAP_ADDR is correct but I still get the same thing, just hangs after uncompression. I am totally stumped.
My board is an adaptation of the MPC8260ADS. I am using BlueCat 4.0 and u-boot 4.8 (tried 4.0 and 4.7) etc and have tried booting both the uImage and kdi files (after turning them into u-boot images with mkimgage).
Here is a print out with extra debug info when trying a kdi image called Q319.img: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------

Another example which does not use a kdi image but simply takes a mkimaged zipped vmlinux file as follows.

Any ideas anyone? You help is much appreciated.
