In that case, we should ignore parts of patch 2/2, of course. I'm pretty 
sure the default examples would still leave the ramdisk compressed for 
the kernel to uncompress though.

As I'm not that long with U-Boot, can you point me to a rough date of a 
release that I could check to see if it worked at that time?

Best regards,
