There is a hard limitation in u-boot, causing "bootm" command to
silently fail gunzip with images having an uncompressed size of > 4Mb.

In file cmd_bootm.c, function do_bootm(), the line
        uint    unc_len = 0x400000;
specifies the maximum size of the output buffer.

The ugly fix would be to just increase this value (like I did).

Of course, if this doesn't solve your problem, Wolfgang is correct and
your question belongs on a different mailing list.
