[U-Boot-Users] Ramdisk Image for Arm Linux

Hello,
I want to create a uRamdisk image with ext2 filesystem. I am using the ELDK kit. /arm/images of eldk contains 2 files ramdisk_image.gz and uRamdisk. uRamdisk, at that location is of type Arm Linux Ramdisk image, but with the load and entry point address set to 0x00000000. I want a uRamdisk Image with the load and entry point address set to 0xa2a00000. So, when i create uramdisk from ramdisk_image.gz and set the load and entry point addressas i want and when i check the image using mkimage -l i see that the image type is PowerPPC Linux Ramdisk Image.
Also as per the DULG manual when i tried creating the uRamdisk image as mentioned in the section 9.6.1 Root Filesystem on a Ramdisk i get the image of type Powerppc Linux Ramdisk Image.
How do i create uRamdisk of type Arm linux Ramdisk Image?
Please let me know
Eagerly awaiting your reply.

This has nothing to do with U-Boot and is completely off topic here. Please use a more appropriate mailing list (arm-linux for example).

Ramdisks do not have such a thing as a load address or an entry pooint. Your request makes no sense.
when i check the image using mkimage -l i see that the image type is PowerPPC Linux Ramdisk Image.
Then you missed to pass the proper parameters to the mkimage command.

By passing the correct value to the "-A" (architecture) argument.
