[U-Boot-Users] quick gzip question/issue.
Quick Question:
Has anyone seen an issue with compressed kernels?
I am using uClinux - and things work great - as long as my compressed kernel images seem to be under 2Meg. (still determining the exact size when things fail).
When things get too big - the kernel decompresses - but does not boot properly. If I tftp the binary image (before gzip, and mkimage) things work OK....
I have tried "gzip -9" and "gzip"
Pointers appreciated.
Thanks -Robin

Yes, often - in case of misuse, like when using an inappropriate download address so that parts of the image get overwritten when uncompression starts.

You don't provide any useful information (like exact commands used and addresses used), so don't expect a helpful reply ;-)
