The load address is where the kernel gets loaded into  RAM  when  you
run the "bootm" command, and the entry point address is the address -
um - of the entrypoint, i. e. the first exacutable instruction.

Wong. Both are 0x000 on PowerPC by default.

It depends on what your Linux kernel's linker script  does.  I  don;t
know  your  kernel  source  tree,  so I have no idea which values are
correct for you.

FORTRAN? The syntactically incorrect statement "DO 10 I = 1.10"  will
parse  and  generate  code  creating  a  variable, DO10I, as follows:
"DO10I = 1.10" If that doesn't terrify you, it should.
