That's because it's just trivial:

	=> tftp 400000 /tftpboot/uImage.multi ; bootm

OIt would have been really, really useful  if  you  had  bothered  to
provide  some  more  details,  like  the  exact output of the failing
command. SO I can just guess that your load address is too  low,  and
you  are  overwriting  parts  of the image when the Linux kernel gets
uncompressed.
