Hi, 
I tried another approach to boot directly Linux ,from flash from an image
loaded in flash in one block.
Instead of compiling ppcboot with an image of the linux kernel in a big
array ( makes linking problem)
I placed the kernel image direcltly after the ppcboot image with the (linux)
command cat image >> ppcboot.bin.
With the offset of the kernel and its length hardcoded no problem everything
start.
But when I use the function get_endaddr() (before relocation of course) It
give me back an address approximatively 30 kBytes after the real end of
ppcboot.
Second problem, How can I find back or make ppcboot find the end of the
Kernel image without anything hardcoded ?
