Yes my boot loader loads the compressed kernel to 0x200000, and I have modified the kernel to uncompress it and execute it from 0x200000. However I am having problems trying to execute it!! -Ravi -----Original Message----- From: Martin J.

When I try to uncompress it to a non standard address (other than > 0x100000), the address mapping is affected. Why would you need to uncompress it to a different address? You mention that your bootloader does something odd, but that should only affect the address of the compressed bzImage, not the decompressed kernel ... M.
