I know about the disadvantages, but I see no other way. If you know one, please tell me! How can I use this uImage? After Cross-Compiling only a zImage was created, so I thought it might be clever to transform it into an uImage. Isn't there a possibility to do this? With the command I wrote in my last Email I thought it should work...

I found the following command for making uImage. But when I type only options are shown.

And you should _really_ consider using a more recent kernel unless you have a good reason not to do so. 2.6.20 is indeed ancient.
