We have a mpc5200liteB evaluation board with u-boot 1.1.4 and linux 
2.4.25 from Denx.  We have grabed a cramfs  root fs on a mtd partition 
and we are able to boot linux without problems:
...
However, we are not able to boot linux with the same rootfs image (with 
the u-boot header) loaded from RAM.

        setenv bootargs root=/dev/rw rw console=ttyS0 console=ttyS0
        init=/sbin/init ip=on
What's /dev/rw ???
and CRAMFS image is built with correct endianess:
Ummm.. Why would you want to use a cramfs file system in a ramdisk
image? This iseems to be a truely pessimal combination of features to
me. Please see
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/RootFileSystemDesignAndBuilding for
some hints...

Best regards,
