Linux doesn not boot from u-boot on ML403

[Miroslaw Dach]

Hi Grant,

	Yes you are right that I should use uImage instead of zImage.elf

I have tried first bootm and uImage but it also hanged during 
uncompression so next I have tried bootelf zImage.elf to see how this 
works because I was able to run zImage.elf straight from EDK via jtag.

Cheers

Mirek
