Hi
I have Limon up and running. I managed to set up the host in order
to serv the linux kernel.
The kernel I download is the ordinary kernel from Montavista HH1.2.
I prepared the zImage in the following way:
1. I stripped off the elf header. (dd if=zImage of=stripZImage bs=64k skip=1)
2. I run it through mklimon to add the limon specific header.
After I've loaded the kernel I can see the kernel in the RAM from addr 0.
When I issue the 'run' command the target crashes.

Question:
1. Is my kernel image munging correct?
2. Is the start address 0 correct?
3. Some data are transferred from limon to the kernel.
- Does Limon handle this correctly?
- Where are these data located?
Thank you for any help
