For the moment I have an xipImage that prints "Magic Bad

Number" when I try to start it.
This is on PowerPC, I assume?
An XIP image has the following properties: it is not compressed (
IH_COMP_NONE), and load address is the current start address in memory (ntohl(hdr->ih_load)== addr); see "common/cmd_bootm.c" lines 320ff.
No, sorry. It is an Atmel AT91RM9200 (uCRouter) board running u-boot 1.1.1.
I have built a linux-2.6.15-xipImage to run in the flash memory. My thought is that the start up time will increase a bit. I have insearted the start address for the kernel within the menuconfig -> boot options. I guess I now have to tell u-boot that the kernel should not be loaded to RAM, and instead run in flash.
Is that correct?
If so, How can I do that?
Greetings

I'm afraid XIP support has not been added to ARM yet.
