 What is the difference between vmlinux and zImage.embedded ?
vmlinux is the plain kernel ELF image. You can use it to analyse the kernel
code or symbols, but you cannot boot it as-is.

zImage.embedded is the compressed kernel image plus some glue code used as a
bridge between the firmware and the kernel.
On my proprietary board (PPC 603). I do not have access to flash
so I am loading vmlinux into RAM and jumping to 0x10000. It is
running into problems in mmu_off.

Should I be loading zImage.embedded instead ?
