kernel startup

Normally is it the uboot that uncompresses the kernel or the kernel uncom=
press itself? 

The function called by uboot when I type boot is _start?

What does it mean that the load address is 0x00000000?

How would something compressed uncompress itself?  If u-boot is being used 
it will uncompress a compressed kernel and put the image at physical 0.

Are you asking about u-boot's _start or the kernel's?

its the address u-boot's going to jump to and start executing kernel code 
from.
