Is there a simple way to boot embedded linux from flash? I've been able to
easily compile and execute from RAM but when I try from flash the kernel can
not use the initrd and it panics.

It would be helpful to know what board you have, and which formware
you're using.
So all I can say is: yes, there is a simple way. Probably it's a
two-step solution. The first step is installing PPCBoot, the second
step is using the "bootm" command.

Ummm.....board, processor, boot rom, kernel version all would be helpful
to know, as this works on many systems by just flashing the zImage with
attached initrd.......
Thanks.
