yesterday morning I could use the U-Boot git code to successfully decompress a gzip compressed image, using today's git checkout this does not work anymore:

Maybe the zlib update is responsible?
Yes, I'm just noticing the same behaviour:
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 00200000 ... Image Name: Linux-2.6.30 Created: 2009-06-30 7:45:03 UTC Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 1350151 Bytes = 1.3 MB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ...

I checked and verified that commit b201171f2b4d509f3ad510b214bee70ff902e3d6 [zlib: updated to v.1.2.3] is responsible for this.
So we should probably revert this patch for now. Wolfgang, what do you think?
Thanks.
