[U-Boot-Users] ARM: initial ramdisk

[llandre]

I have a doubt about initial ramdisk placement.
I'm working with Cogent CSB336. The 8MB Flash starts at 0x1000:0000. The 
initial
cramfs ramdisk image was generated as follows:
mkimage -n 'RAM disk' -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C none -a 9000000 -e 
9000000 -d initrd.cramfs initrd.cramfs.u-boot
The image has been stored at 0x1020:0000. I expect that U-Boot, before 
launching the kernel, copies the cramfs image
from 0x1020:0000 to 0x0900:0000 but it does not. When the kernel boots, it 
can not mount the cramfs image because
it is placed outside the RAM boundaries:

Am I missing something?
