No, this is the size of the uncompressed vmlinux.bin, that I'm putting in uImage with '-C none'. I haven't solved the gzip issue yet.
an offset of 4 MB in the SDRAM space... should be enough for everything, I assumed. I'll have to check this again.
Did you actually use 4 MB (400000) or did you use some other address by accident? What is your exact boot comand, and which output do you get?
Oh.. right! I used 0x4.0000 instead of 0x40.0000. Damn.
Okay, so CRC, gunzip are now working. Thanks Michael and WD.
But the post-Linux problem still remains: my BDI has gone for a replacement, so I have to use some early putchars with the UART that was initialized by u-boot. I place two putchars in early_init in arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c, but I just see one. So does that mean my stack's getting corrupted?
Thanks, Amit.
