Dear Victor,

mount an ext2 partition under a directory in the ramdisk. One odd thing I've had is that I can't seem to use a compressed uImage since I added the IDE config. If I gunzip the vmlinux.gz and use mkimage to create an uncompressed uImage, I can upload it to 100000, change kernel_addr to 100000, and run it just fine with flash_self (I have the initrd in flash at ff180000).
If I use the SAME vmlinux, and create a gzipped uImage, it starts to boot, then has a fatal error while trying to uncompress the image (this happened
This just means that your kernel image has become too big to be loaded at 1 MB; try downloading to and booting from 0x200000 instead.
Could the gunzipper be running out of allocated space? I certainly have
It's overwriting the image as it uncompresses.
In looking around for memory allocation defs, I did find a typo in cmd_bootm.c: #if defined(CONFIG_MPC5XXXX)
Every other reference I've found refers to "CONFIG_MPC5XXX"
Fixed. Well spotted!
