This is really a FAQ on U-BOOT.Note,U-BOOT can only boot LINUX kernel and RAMDISK in its format-by mkimage tools.You should convert vmlinux.gz as its required format.Detailes pls see README in u-boot root directory.Also,reading the following document carefully is very helpful: http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual Best regards, Sam ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
