uncompressing linux... (it hangs after this message)

[Omanakuttan]

Hi,
I am a embedded linux newbie and I am using ppcboot to load my kernel.
I use `mkimage` of ramdisk supplied in SELF.
I made a linux kernel for ppc with bare minimum options, no loadable
modules.

The steps I followed.

<reset>
PPCBoot 2.0.0 (Jan 22 2003 - 12:00:07)

 From this point onwards there is no messages. and no cpu activity.
I have absolutely no idea of what is happening.
Any clue?
