Hi all,

Afteruboot comes up, I get stuck with the booting of linux kernel. The RAMrange is from 0x30000000-0x38000000. Following are the steps I do toget the uImage.bin.

$ arm-linux-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S vmlinux linux.bin
$ gzip -9 linux.bin
$../u-boot-1.3.2/tools/mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a0x30008000 -e 0x30008000 -n "Linux kernel" -d linux.bin.gz uImage.bin
Image Name:   Linux kernel
Created:      Sun Apr  6 12:19:12 2008
Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
Data Size:    4271627 Bytes = 4171.51 kB = 4.07 MB
Load Address: 0x30008000
Entry Point:  0x30008000

After this I put the uImage.bin at 0x33000000, restart uboot and I get:
U-Boot 1.3.2 (Apr  6 2008 - 12:03:10)

DRAM:  128 MB
Flash: 32 MB
Using default environment

In:    serial
Out:   serial
Err:   serial
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
## Booting image at 33000000 ...

   Load Address: 30008000
   Entry Point:  30008000
   Verifying Checksum ... Bad Data CRC

Isit the problem with the settings of uboot or the kernel and what shouldI do to bring the linux kernel up? Where could I find more informationregarding this?

Kindly help me out.

Thanks in advance.
