Either you are using a cramfs filesystem, or a ramdisk (probably with an ext2 filesystem in it). Putting cramfs filesystem in a ramdisk image is a pretty bad idea. > Here I have one doubt while building the uBoot image using mkImage with > multi option where was the FileSystem image getting downloaded ? and how A multi-file image in U-Boot indeed requires a ramdisk image. Then you should not use a cramfs filesystem. The method for loading tha ramdisk image is described in the U-Boot "README" file; search for "positioning of initrd images". > the downloaded location was known to the kernel Image for pointing out > the File System image location.

Maybe you should ask MV support, then.
