Hi Steven,
thanks a lot for your support. I tried to run the patched 2.6.7 kernel but it seems it hangs after decompression (don't see further messages):
Bytes transferred = 753884 (b80dc hex) ## Booting image at 08800000 ... Image Name: Linux-2.6.7-imx3 Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) Data Size: 753820 Bytes = 736.2 kB Load Address: 08008000 Entry Point: 08008000 Verifying Checksum ...

Uncompressing Linux..................................................... done, booting the kernel.
I'll perform further investigations. In case it actually won't work, I'll patch U-Boot with Sascha's latest patch and I'll try again.

U-Boot seems to be stable but I could not load Linux kernel so far. I'm trying to start a modified version of the kernel 0.3.8 delivered by Motorola for the M9328MXL ADS. It seems the kernel does not like the parameters passed by U-Boot. Still working on it. Any advice or suggestion is appreciated.
Use linux 2.6.7 with the i.MX patch from pengutronix. This works fine.

BTW: Sascha Hauer already posted a patch for the i.MX! It's still in Wolfgang's queue. Have a look at
