RE: "Uncompressing Linux at load address"

I had faced similar issue with AU1100 based boards which also use the
zImage patch. It turned out to be board initialization issue rather that
a zImage problem, since after uncompressing the image control is
transferred to kernel_entry.

Thanks

Subject: "Uncompressing Linux at load address"

Hi,

I am trying to boot a zImage from micromonitor on a csb655 board 
(Au1550 processor).

For that matter, I patched my kernel 2.6.15 with the zImage_2_6_10.patch
from 
Popov. 

In the arch/mips/boot/compressed/au1xxx/Makefile, I have set:
	1) RAM_RUN_ADDR=0xa0300000, which is the value got  from the
umon's 
APPRAMBASE environment variable.
	2) AVAIL_RAM_START=0x80500000
            AVAIL_RAM_END=0x80900000
     	3) LOADADDR =0x80100000, which is the same value I have set in
an 
entry for this board in arch/mips/Makefile.

I can compile and link the zImage with home build gcc cross tools, based
on 
gcc-3.4.4 and glibc-2.3.4 . When the (binary) zImage is decompressed on
the 
target, I get these messages: 

zImage: size=680372 base=0xa0300000
loaded at:     A0300000 A03A4000
zimage at:     A0306180 A03A3EE1
Uncompressing Linux at load address 80100000

and then the target resets.  
This zImage is very small, so the decompressed image is not going beyond
the 
AVAIL_RAM limits. Would you have any guess on what is going on?

I have looked for this information the list through, but anyone seems to
have 
had this problem before. Thanks for any comment.
