[U-Boot-Users] How can I save zImage & fsimage.tar into Flash memory then boot

[Zhao Hongda]

After do such steps, I try to "bootm 0x40000", but the kernel hangs:
    ## Booting image at 00040000 ...
        Image name:    2.4.18    kernel
        Image Type:    ARM Linux kernel Image (gzip compressed)
        Data Size:        714025 Bytes =697.3kB
        Load Address:   a0008000
        Entry Point:        a0008000
        Verifying Checksum ... OK
        Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
    Starting kernel...
    (hangs)
why? should I change some envs?
