Hello all,

"invalid image error".can any body tell what is the error.

vmlinux is not directly booted from OpenBios, on PPC40x one boots a
zImage.treeboot image.

Hi all,

JTAG(RISCWATCH) in the SDRAM. I am not sure abt the loaction. I am loading at
0x00020000. Can you suggest me exactly atr what loaction we should load the
vmlinux image and where we should jump to start the kernel.

Thanks & regards,
