This is why you see garbage here. > what could be the error Chose a higher load address, something like "bootm 40". And again, this is basicly off topic here.

Combine kernel and ramdisk image.
Hi all, I want to combine the Linux kernel Image and the ramdisk image.I had used the mkimage tool for doing this ./mkimage -A ppc -O Linux -T multi -C gzip \ -n 'Linux-2.4.4-2002-03-21 Multiboot-Image' -e 0 -a 0 \ -d /SELF/build/linux-2.4.4-2002-03-21/arch/ppc/ coffboot/vmlinux.gz:/SELF/build/ramdisk_image.gz \ /SELF/images/pMulti PMulti is the Combined kernal image .. wheni download it to the powerpc board using ppcboot I get this . bootm ## Booting image at 0010 ... Image Name: Linux-2.4.4-2002-03-21 Multiboot Image Type: PowerPC Linux Multi-File Image (gzip compressed) Data Size:1580442 Bytes = 1543 kB = 1 MB Load Address: Entry Point: Contents: Image 0: 530861 Bytes = 518 kB = 0 MB Image 1: 1049566 Bytes = 1024 kB = 1 MB Verifying Checksum ... OK Uncompressing Multi-File Image ... OK Loading Ramdisk to 6fabe000, end 0075a4bc ... what could be the error when i downlaod the kernel and the ramdisk separately then the ramdisk gets loaded at this address Loading Ramdisk to 0065a000, end 0075a3de ... OK Linux version 2.4.4 (root at UCLinuxServer.embedded) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 . Thankyou. Yahoo!
