I think you want to load the kernel to memory at 0x00000000, even though the u-boot load address is set to 0x8000 - my kernel, which I load to memory at 0x80000000 because that's where my SDRAM is, looks like this:
Load address: 0x80000000 Loading: ################################################################# ################################################################# ################################################################# ################################################################# ################################################################# ################################################################# ########################## done Bytes transferred = 2128612 (207ae4 hex) ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80000000 ...

Also, why do you load it to 0x8000 ? It's relocated anyway, but this way it has to be relocated twice) _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
