[U-Boot-Users] Error while booting Linux image

Hi All,
I am using U-Boot with a Linux kernel version 2.4.27-1.3.3-432 on mpc8248
based board, but the last message I see is "Uncompressing Kernel Image ...
OK" and Then the system hangs. I traced the code and realised that it stops
when it makes a call to "(*kernel) (kbd, initrd_start, initrd_end,
cmd_start, cmd_end);" (in file u-boot/common/cmd_bootm.c)
As i searched through the archive i found a similar problem and had comments
asking to verify the following:
1. bd_info
2. IMAP_ADDR and CFG_IMMR should have the same value
3. clock speed saved in env
My bd_info is:
kbd->bi_memstart: 0
kbd->bi_memsize: 2000000 - 16MB
kbd->bi_flashstart: ff000000
kbd->bi_flashoffset: 0
kbd->bi_sramstart: 0
kbd->bi_sramsize: 0
kbd->bi_immr_base: 0f000000
kbd->bi_bootflags: 1
kbd->bi_ip_addr: c0a801de in HEX
kbd->bi_enetaddr: 7ffbd8 in HEX
kbd->bi_ethspeed: 2bd6 in HEX
kbd->bi_intfreq: 15a in HEX
kbd->bi_busfreq: 63 in HEX
kbd->bi_cpmfreq: c6 in HEX
kbd->bi_brgfreq: 18 in HEX
kbd->bi_sccfreq: 63 in HEX
kbd->bi_vco: 18c in HEX
kbd->bi_baudrate: 1c200 in HEX
which i believe is correct. The value of IMAP_ADDR in
linux/arch/ppc/platforms/boardname.h and u-boot/include/configs/boardname.h
is 0x0f000000 and i dont have the clock setting saved in my env.
I could not figure out any more cracks because of which Linux would not
boot. Looking for your help on this.
Regards,
Vikrant
