RE: Problem during decompressing kernel routine

[Cindy Peters <cinpet@adaptivemicro.com>]

I did add some print statements and it gets to the inflate() routine and
does not return. I forgot to mention this. I printed the parameters for the
inflate routine and they seem to be correct.

	s.next_in =   0020533A
	s.avail_in =  0007224A
	s.next_out =  00000000
	s.avail_out = 00400000

I checked it and the value was correct.

Thanks,

You could try debugging with printouts in the decompression routine.  In
arch/ppc/boot/mbx/misc.c, decompress_kernel() you'll find the following
lines:

        puts("\nUncompressing Linux...");

        gunzip(0, 0x400000, zimage_start, &zimage_size);
        puts("done.\n");
        puts("Now booting the kernel\n");

You're clearly going off into the weeds on the second line, and puts()
is working so you can use it to debug.
