After do such steps, I try to "bootm 0x40000", but the kernel hangs: ## Booting image at 00040000 ... Image name: 2.4.18 kernel Image Type: ARM Linux kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 714025 Bytes =697.3kB Load Address: a0008000 Entry Point: a0008000 Verifying Checksum ...

I am using diff-2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3 kernel. Could you tell me the complete command about mkimage that you type I am type mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0xa0200000 -e 0xc0004000 -n zImage -d zImage bootm
I think this has been discussed on this mailing list before.
Here is the procedure I use for creating a bootable image for PXA.
arm-linux-objcopy -S -O binary vmlinux linux gzip -vf9 linux mkimage -n kernel_name -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a a0008000 \ -e a0008000 -d linux.gz linuxgz.image
I then copy this in to flash at 0x40000 and boot with "bootm 40000". Since
I
use a mtd device as the rootfs there is only a single arg to the bootm command.
HTH, Kyle.
