Right. These are the relevant commits; they went into mainline some time ago: commit 27dd5f8e1062684f1ba685760409d9b2ab6691bf Author: Stefan Roese <s...@denx.de> Date: Tue Jul 28 10:56:03 2009 +0200 ppc4xx: amcc: Move "kernel_addr_r" etc to higher locations (> 16MB) This patch moves the load addresses for kernel, fdt and ramdisk to higher addresses (>= 16MB). This enables booting of bigger kernel images (e.g. lockdep enabled). Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <s...@denx.de> commit 6942efc2be1b90054fa4afa5cda7023469fe08b9 Author: Stefan Roese <s...@denx.de> Date: Tue Jul 28 10:50:32 2009 +0200 ppc4xx: amcc: Set CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ to 16MB for big kernels This patch changes CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ from 8MB to 16MB which is the initial TLB on 40x PPC's in the Linux kernel. With this change even bigger Linux kernels (> 8MB) can be booted. This patch also sets CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN to 16MB (default 8MB) to enable decompression of bigger images.
