I think this has been discussed on this mailing list before. 

Here is the procedure I use for creating a bootable image for PXA.

arm-linux-objcopy -S -O binary vmlinux linux
gzip -vf9 linux
mkimage -n kernel_name -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a a0008000 \
              -e a0008000 -d linux.gz linuxgz.image

I then copy this in to flash at 0x40000 and boot with "bootm 40000". Since I 
use a mtd device as the rootfs there is only a single arg to the bootm 
command.

HTH, Kyle.
