Thanks again for the help, it works now.

Next question:

'make uImage' in the linux kernel tree builds a linux kernel image
that u-boot can use.  How can I change the compression that is used?

Actually, I'm not even sure whether my kernel is compressed or not.
Here is the laat part of the output from 'make uImage'; it tells me
the kernel is not compressed:

however the embedded system tells me it is uncompressing:
