No, a Motorola MPC5200 Lite evaluation board. But I thought that my suggestion is pretty board-independent :)
There are huge differences between architectures. While on PowerPC you usually have flash at some high addresses and RAM mapped at 0x0000, you will see flash at 0x0000 and RAM at high addresses on ARM.
You really guessed wrong here.
$ mkimage -n 'Linux PPC MPC5200 2.4' -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 00000000 -e 00000000 -d arch/ppc/boot/images/vmlinux.gz /tftpboot/MPC5200/vmlinux.img
... which is OK for PowerPC, but seriously broken for all ARM systems I know.
(3) So why isn't it booting. Or more correctly why is it resetting after it issues the 'Starting kernel ...' message!!
Am I missing some bootarguments?
you don't need to have bootarguments set to see at leaste *some* output I think.. Something more severe is going on I believe
You have to know the memory map of your system, and you have to be aware wat the load address (-a option to mkimage), entry point (-e option) and the address "addr" where your image is stored in RAM when you type "bootm addr" mean.
