[U-Boot-Users] start / load addresses for kernel

Hello:

I received the below advice recently:

>since you are building for a non openbios kernel, you will need
>to change the make file.  The start/ load addresses and all are different

I am trying to get more detail on what needs to change,
I see 2 config options:

1) CONFIG_KERNEL_START_BOOL - is set this to yes
2) CONFIG_KERNEL_START -- what should this be set to - the default is
0xc0000000 seems fine to me

Are there any other options that I am missing?

Below is a log of my attempt to boot the kernel - displayed are the
command line that is getting passed in, and well as the startup parameters -
do these look okay - I made sure that the kernel bd_info struct is the same
as the u-boot struct
