[U-Boot] Kernel boot halts with "Verifying Checksum ... Bad Data CRC"

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is specifically related to u boot.

I have compiled a linux kernel, which if I run on a system with flash memory with 256k sector size there are no problems, however if? I rebuild for a system using flash with 64k sector size the boot process halts with the following errors

?Booting image at 00060000 ...
## Copy image from flash 00060000 to ram 00200000 ...
?? Image Name:
?? Image Type:?? ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
?? Data Size:??? 1759300 Bytes =? 1.7 MB
?? Load Address: 00008000
?? Entry Point:? 00008000
?? Verifying Checksum ... Bad Data CRC

The script I'm using to make my kernel image is:

SRC=$2/arch/arm/boot/uImage
??? if [ -f $SRC ]; then
?? ??? ?printf "Kernel source in: %s\n" $SRC
??? else???
?? ??? ?printf "Error: No kernel source in : %s\n" $SRC
??? ?exit 0
??? fi
??? mkimage -T kernel -C none -a 0x8000 -e 0x8000 -d $SRC scp_uimage

The above script is called with:

??? echo "Destination: scp_zimage"create_flash_image kernel linux-2.6.24/

What do I need to do differently with mkimage so that u boot is happy with the CRC?
