I dont think so, since I have re-checked it. I tried with a new kernel
image and now I am getting gunzip error :

I am making the image as

6# mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0x10009000 -n "Kernel
Image" -d linux.bin.gz uImage.cc
Image Name:   Kernel Image
Created:      Wed May  9 16:02:57 2007
Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
Data Size:    1200234 Bytes = 1172.10 kB = 1.14 MB
Load Address: 0x10009000
Entry Point:  0x10009000


and then I do bootm 0x10009000..

Booting image at 10009000 ...
   Image Name:   Kernel Image
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
   Data Size:    1200234 Bytes =  1.1 MB
   Load Address: 10009000
   Entry Point:  10009000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Uncompressing Kernel Image ... Error: inflate() returned -3
GUNZIP ERROR - must RESET board to recover

Is it because of I am having wrong addresses?


It is a arm 926 based board.
