Uncompressing Linux failure

Uncompressing Linux failure

[wei.li4]

Hi All,

I got the following error when I ported linux 2.6.18-rc2-g73a589b5 to 
my board(MPC875), my bootloader is working fine with linux 2.6.13, and 
I am using same cross-tools from ELDK 4.0:

loaded at:     00400000 00529124
board data at: 00FFFEA8 00FFFF2C
relocated to:  00404068 004040EC
zimage at:     00404EE1 00526337
avail ram:     0052A000 01000000
                                                                        
         Uncompressing Linux...inflate returned FFFFFFFE
exit

Can you advise me? thanks.

    This looks like the ppc bug with new version of zlib.
But I thought it was fixed by 2.6.18-rc2.

MY recomendation would be to either move newer or older.
Alternatively back out the zlib patch.
