My first reaction when I saw this thread was that you didn't allocate something in memory and overlapped something. However, looking at your original post again, I think your kernel is growing larger than 4MB, which is the link address of the zImage. This is based on the kernel is decompressed to address 0 in ppc/boot/simple/misc-embedded.c, and a 50% compression factor and 2MB compressed image. You can look at the file size of vmlinux to see if this is close. milton
