Bad Magic Number

[Mark Anderson]

Did you wrap the kernel image using the ppcboot
mkimage tool? If not, have a look at the ppcboot
documentation on mkimage it explains everything
you need to know.

Hi all,
	I am trying to boot linux on my custom mpc8xx card. I have
ppcboot loaded
and I am loading linux kernel image using tftp. When I say bootm it
gives me
error "Bad Magic Number".
Can anybody please explain the error and suggest any solution for it.

Thanks in advance,
Kapilk.
