Bad Magic Number
Hi;
I'm a new user of ARM Versatile Board and U-Boot software. Previously, milo.axf and linux kernel was stored in the flash. I use milo.axf to boot the Linux Kernel image and it works fine.
After I write the u-boot image onto the flash (comes with the Vertatile CD from ARM). The version is U-Boot 1.1.2 (Feb 4 2005 - 11:04:56).
When I tried to use "bootm 0x34100000" (the linux kernel image address). It gave me the "Bad Magic Number".
Could anyone tell me what was wrong ?
Thanks in advance.
Jason Chang

You did not read the documentation.
U-Boot requires that you create a special kernel image using the mkimage tool.
