Dear All:
  I use a PPC860 board and ELDK 3.1.1 (kernel 2.4.25) to boot the linux kernel, after I loaded it print the following messages:

=> bootm 0x180000
## Booting image at 00000000 ...
Bad Magic Number
=>


How to slove it, thanks a lot!
I use:  zImage, 
vmlinux.UBoot,
 vmlinux 
 it all print the same messages, 
 I use "imi 0x180000"
 is also print the
 "
Checking Image at 00000000 ...
   Bad Magic Number"

How can I do?

The funny thing is that you seem to enter "0x180000" but the  address
printed  is  00000000.  make  sure  you  have  no funny characters or
control keys in this number. Re-type  it  carefully.  Omit  the  "0x"
part, i. e. try a plain "bootm 180000'


Best regards,

Plus, use 'bootm' for a .uboot file, 'bootelf' for a zImage.
