Hi Anil,

It seems that Tony's email assumed that you generated a bunch of
zImages for different platforms and then naming them zImage-$platform.

e.g:

$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- omap2plus_defconfig
$ make -j 4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- zImage modules
zImage-omap2plus
$ cp cp arch/arm/boot/zImage zImage-omap2plus

and then you can use the command in [1]:

$  mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80008000 -e
0x80008000 -n "Linux" -d zImage-omap2plus uImage-omap2plus

anyways, the problem is that zImage-omap2plus does not exist and you
have to use the zImage generated by "make zImage". What I usually do
is just:

$ mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80008000 -e
0x80008000 -n "Linux" -d arch/arm/boot/zImage uImage-omap2plus

and then copy uImage-omap2plus as uImage on either my board MMC/SD or
Flash memory.

Also, if you find this inconvenient, you can add CONFIG_CMD_BOOTZ to
your board header config file in U-Boot so it can boot a zImage
directly instead of an uImage. Not sure when did was introduced on
U-Boot but should be available on any decent-ish version.

Hope it helps,
Javier
