Uncompressing Linux...


After that system just hangs.

I do not understand why it is possible to run zImage.elf straight from jtag
but it hangs when started from u-boot.

Is it any fundamental problem with running Linux from u-boot on ML403
(Virtex-4) boards?

No there isn't.  It should work.  Most likely the kernel did not hang
immediately, but rather the console is not setup correctly.  You need
to halt the processor after the hang and look at __log_buf in memory
(Find the address in System.map).
