No, this is the size of the uncompressed vmlinux.bin, that I'm putting
in uImage with '-C none'. I haven't solved the gzip issue yet.

Oh.. right! I used 0x4.0000 instead of 0x40.0000. Damn.

Okay, so CRC, gunzip are now working. Thanks Michael and WD.

But the post-Linux problem still remains: my BDI has gone for a
replacement, so I have to use some early putchars with the UART that
was initialized by u-boot. I place two putchars in early_init in
arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c, but I just see one. So does that mean my
stack's getting corrupted?

Thanks,
Amit.
