Yes, I'm just noticing the same behaviour:

## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 00200000 ...                       
   Image Name:   Linux-2.6.30                                             
   Created:      2009-06-30   7:45:03 UTC                                 
   Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)             
   Data Size:    1350151 Bytes =  1.3 MB                                  
   Load Address: 00000000                                                 
   Entry Point:  00000000                                                 
   Verifying Checksum ... OK                                              
## Flattened Device Tree blob at 00800000
   Booting using the fdt blob at 0x800000
   Uncompressing Kernel Image ... Error: inflate() returned -2
GUNZIP: uncompress, out-of-mem or overwrite error - must RESET board to 
recover

I checked and verified that commit b201171f2b4d509f3ad510b214bee70ff902e3d6 
[zlib: updated to v.1.2.3] is responsible for this.

So we should probably revert this patch for now. Wolfgang, what do you think?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
