is that the only reason ? what format is the kernel that you're attempting to boot ? assuming it's an ELF ... at the moment, the Blackfin code base maintained on blackfin.uclinux.org has hacked the "bootelf" command to assume it is always booting a kernel. this way we can load/boot the ELF image of our kernels in memory and have the $(bootargs) and such actually get passed properly (dont yell at me for this, the change was before my time, and i agree it's crap :p). in other words, a common function for booting a linux ELF kernel image would be great. especially considering the fact we have a "bootvx" that takes an ELF image, sets up the bootargs, and then boots it properly. seems messed up that booting vxworks sees better support than booting linux ;) -mike
