Currently, i am able to locate the inode for the zImage on the filesystem .i.e. in the flash emulation region i construct. i then generate a list of all the inodes related to the inode number for the zImage enetry. This list then becomes a input for my decompress routine which copies the decompressed data to the location in memory where the final jump will be made, and the kerenel will start booting... i am stuck with something i havent been able to identify...all the steps seem to go perfectly, and after thee jump to the starting memory location of the kernel, i get a message: Uncompressing Linux............................... done, booting the kernel. but the system doesnt boot....any idea what can have caused this behaviour?do u think my decmpress routines need to be looked at again. Please do help. Thanking y'all in anticipation. regards, vishal
