Combine kernel and ramdisk image.

[rekha gvv]

Hi all,
I want to combine the Linux kernel Image and the
ramdisk image.I had used the mkimage tool for doing
this
./mkimage -A ppc -O Linux -T multi  -C gzip \
-n 'Linux-2.4.4-2002-03-21 Multiboot-Image' -e 0 -a 0
\
-d /SELF/build/linux-2.4.4-2002-03-21/arch/ppc/
coffboot/vmlinux.gz:/SELF/build/ramdisk_image.gz \
/SELF/images/pMulti

PMulti is the Combined kernal image ..
wheni download it to the powerpc board using ppcboot I
get this .

bootm
## Booting image at 00100000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-2.4.4-2002-03-21 Multiboot
   Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Multi-File Image (gzip
compressed)
   Data Size:    1580442 Bytes = 1543 kB = 1 MB
   Load Address: 00000000
   Entry Point:  00000000
   Contents:
   Image 0:   530861 Bytes = 518 kB = 0 MB
   Image 1:  1049566 Bytes = 1024 kB = 1 MB
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Uncompressing Multi-File Image ... OK
   Loading Ramdisk to 6fabe000, end 0075a4bc ...



what could be the error....
when i downlaod the kernel and  the ramdisk separately
then the ramdisk gets loaded at this address

Loading Ramdisk to 0065a000, end 0075a3de ... OK
Linux version 2.4.4 (root at UCLinuxServer.embedded) (gcc
version 2.95.3 20010315
.................

Thankyou.
