Type "where" and "bt" at your GDB prompt.  Umm...  you  are  using  a
debugger like the BDI2000, aren't you?

My question was:

Why are you trying to directly execute a compressed linux image from RAM?
It also won't work if you want to run it directly from flash either...

[Zhao Hongda]

I use the u-boot cvs source,
linux-2.4.19 kernel, arm-linux patch, and xscale patch.
arm-linux-gcc 3.0 as complier,lubbock(pxa250) as platform.

    arm-linux-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S vmlinux linux.bin
    gzip -9 linux.bin
    mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0xa0008000 -e 0xa0008000 -n
"Linux Kernel Image" -d linux.bin.gz uImage
then under u-boot:
    =>loadb 0xa0008000 (send the uImage)
    =>go 0xa0008000
    start the application at 0xa0008000
    <hang>

Could someone help me about this? Thanks a lot.

 I want it run from flash, but if I use "loadb 0x00100000", after transfer
the uImage, "md 0x00100000" shows that flash data is wrong,
what should I do?

[Zhao Hongda]

Could you give me the detail step from vmlinux/zImage to u-boot's uImage,
and the step to load and run it.
thanks very much.

[U-Boot-Users] Why my image isn't boot?

[Zhao Hongda]

I just want to boot the linux kernel in lubbock, and follow the README file
in u-boot,
then what steps should I take to product a workable uImage file ?
and how to load it correctly?
please give me a sample procedure.
                                                                    Hongda

Fix your image. The addrress where it is stored in RAM (as used by  "
bootm 0xa0008000" must be different from the "Load Address: a0008000"
and "Entry Point: a0008000" values, or it will overwerite itself when
it gets uncompressed.

then load it follow these steps:
=>loadb 0xa1000000
=>bootm 0xa1000000
## Booting image at a1000000 ...
   Image Name:   akzhd crazy
