Why are you doing this? Keeping the Linux kernel image  separated  is
much more flexible.

You must be doing something seriously wrong here.  To  boot  a  Linux
kernel you have to use the "bootm" command, which never prints such a
message.

If you Linux kernel image is aligned  to  a  flash  sector  then  the
"imls"  command  will  find  and  verify it. If it is not aligned you
should reconsider why you are doing this (differently than  the  rest
of the world).
