Re: unable to uncompess kernel image

In message [ref] you wrote:

I'm a little bit confused as to whether you are trying to build a ramdisk image or a kernel image.

Well, as I understood he tried to combine both  the  kernel  and  the
ramdisk images in one file; this is sometimes useful when you want to
deal with a single file only (like when booting from a boot server).

In PPCBoot terminology this is called a "multi-file image":


	$ mkimage -A ppc -O Linux -T multi -C gzip \
	-n 'Linux Multiboot-Image' -e 0 -a 0 \
	-d vmlinux.gz:ramdisk_image.gz pMulti
