Hi all,

My platform is OMAP5912osk. 
The setps I create the bzip2 kernel image are :
************************************************************
arm-linux-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux linux.bin
bzip2 linux.bin
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C bzip2 -a 0x10c08000 -e 0x10c08000 -n "2.6.15 " -d linux.bin.bz2 uImage
************************************************************
Then I put kernel image at 0x10000000.

According to the README of u-boot 1.1.3 :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Compression support:
  CONFIG_BZIP2

  If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
  images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
  compressed images are supported.

  NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
  the malloc area (as defined by CFG_MALLOC_LEN) should
  be at least 4MB.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In /u-boot-1.1.3/include/configs/omap5912osk.h, if I use the original config : 
#define CFG_MALLOC_LEN        (CFG_ENV_SIZE + 128*1024)
#define CONFIG_BZIP2            1

The result when u-boot decompress the image is :
************************************************************
## Booting image at 10000000 ...
   Image Name:   2.6.15 
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (bzip2 compressed)
   Data Size:    1159790 Bytes =  1.1 MB
   Load Address: 10c08000
   Entry Point:  10c08000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Uncompressing Kernel Image ... BUNZIP2 ERROR -3 - must RESET board to recover
************************************************************
But I change the setting according to README :
#define CFG_MALLOC_LEN        (CFG_ENV_SIZE + 4224*1024)
#define CONFIG_BZIP2            1


The result when u-boot decompress the image is still fail:
************************************************************
## Booting image at 10000000 ...
   Image Name:   2.6.15 
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (bzip2 compressed)
   Data Size:    1159790 Bytes =  1.1 MB

************************************************************

Any one has any suggestion on how to solve this ?
Anything wrong in my modification ???

Thanks for your patience~

Best Regards,
Clare
