Well uImage has a checksum, which u-boot can check before jumping to the kernel. I don't know if it has anything like that for vmlinuz direct booting. But that's about the only thing I know of. Of course if you network boot (not relevant in this case), being able to have a kernel and initrd in a single file is quite handy, which uImage can do. Not the case here though. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
