[U-Boot-Users] quick gzip question/issue.

Quick Question:

Has anyone seen an issue with compressed kernels?

I am using uClinux - and things work great - as long as my compressed 
kernel images seem to be under 2Meg. (still determining the exact size when 
things fail).

When things get too big - the kernel decompresses - but does not boot 
properly. If I tftp the binary image (before gzip, and mkimage) things work 
OK....

I have tried "gzip -9" and "gzip"

Pointers appreciated.

Thanks
-Robin
