Okay Firstly let me apologise. It seems I have no control on how my mails are sent. We are forced to use and ancient version of Lotus Notes here and I'm not sure how the rest of the folks on this list receive the mails that I send when I reply "with history" which is Notes quaint way of including your replies to my questions etc. So A) I have not posted HTML to this list. I see no reason to. Any HTML links that have may have been added seems to have been done by this blessed mailer. B) The quote that you claim I have used improperly is something you, Mr.Denk pulled out of my first post. It was from my original post and you cut and pasted it in your reply. My mailer seems to have mangled this somehow. C) Hence do not look below the area that contains my name Sadanand Warrier because that is where what I type ends and the rest of it is stuff that is added by Notes.

Now to come to the problem. 1) My uncompressed kernel image is approximately 1.1M. I don't know if its huge from a Linux background , but from mine it is. 2) Yes the RAM is fine. POST does not show any problems and I can reproduce this on 3 boards. 3) I've read the README and I'm still perplexed. It is obviously the kernel decompression that causes the corruption. However I am at a loss to understand that right now.

If you feel that this thread can be terminated please do so. I'm not getting any closer to a solution other than the one I came up with and I seem to be wasting everybody else's bandwidth and time.

This is where my current mail ends.

Thanks

Sadanand Warrier

 No I did not try to figure out what happens when U-Boot compresses 

the kernel image.

How big is your uncompressed kernel image? Is there any chance you are including a HUGE image file?

 Finally in our setting it is not okay if the ram-disk load address 

is

3MB, 4MB, 5MB, 6MB or 7MB. It works only when it is 8MB and above. Hence

my question.

Are you sure that your RAm is working correctly?

I'll make sure that the ram-disk is loaded at a much higher address but what about the 7-8MB corruption. Is there anything in it?

No. See section "Memory Management" in the README.

We load our kernel at 1 MB. We load our associated ram-disk at 2MB.
