I wondered if this has gone back into the latest versions yet? If you apply the 'zImage' patch from Pete's ftp directory (look in past e-mails for this discussion) you will see what I have done for a few of the boards I'm using. It's quite trivial to add new boards to get this feature. I'm still working on the method of attaching the compressed initrd to the same image, which I find quite useful for embedded applications.
