[U-Boot-Users] about use mkimage to create uImage?

[zhuzhenhua <zzh.hust@gmail.com>]

something strange happened. as i said, i had used command

'./tools/mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none-a 0x30000000
-e0x30008000 -n "Linux" -d vmlinux  uImage'
to get a runing correctly uImage.
but today i use the same command to the same vmlinux to generate the
uImage which runing only to "starting kernel........." and then stop.

but if i download the uImage i made few days ago, it still can run correct
what's happen? or maybe i rember the wrong command ?i just got confused.

thanks for any hints or answers

Best regards
