How did you search?
Is there a way to extract the vmlinux.gz image from a U-Boot multi-image? I think it's something like this but I'm guessing I need the original vmlinux.gz size -
# strip the wrapper dd if=uImage.initrd bs=76 skip=1 of=uImage_initrd.stripped
# extract the gzipped kernel dd if=uImage_initrd.stripped of=vmlinux.gz bs=??? count=??? skip=???
It took me just 2 minutes to search the mailing list archive (which appears to be warking at the moment - big surprise!). Here is what I got:

And now for the funny part of the story: guess who was asking this question half a year ago, and received a detailed reply???
Guess who???
Don't you remember???
It was a person named "Tom Guilliams tguilliams@san.rr.com".
Funny coincidence, isn't it?
[No, I ain't going to make this a FAQ just because the same persons asks the same question againa and again.]
