Right. Small changes in the source image (which is not a linux kernel) 
can lead to a corrupted image. lzop under linux can decompress the image 
successfully. I also checked if it is possible to compress the image and 
make an u-boot image out of the compressed data under linux. This also 
worked without problems but when decompressing that image the error is 
the same.

lzo1x_decompress_safe from the current linux kernel is the same as that 
one used in u-boot.

Any ideas?

Matthias
