[U-Boot] Problem while uncompressing kernel image in u-boot

[U-Boot] Problem while uncompressing kernel image in u-boot

[pdineshb]

Hello all,


I am working on MPC8313 processor with u-boot-1.3.0
I am noticing a problem while uncompressing the kernel images.  while
uncompressing, it would just reset the processor without any error message.

I tried loading in different address for the kernel image, but didnt work.
I thought it could be a problem with the gunzip code in the u-boot.

I tried linking with zlib present in the ltib(Linux target image builder)
which is ported to the MPC83xx, but didnt help. I also linked with the
Kernel's zlib(arch/powerpc/boot) files, didnt work either.

Kernel version 2.6.23
did anybody faced with this problem before?

Any ideas or suggesstions are appreciated.
I have pasted the output here.

Yes.  I saw that problem, and fixed it in commit
c123098035be8bae3859bbfbd06861f197c07631, which was over 2 years ago.  Your
U-Boot is even older.  Please upgrade.

Upgrade your kernel too while you're at it. :-)
