boot-loader uClinux

I want to use the uClinux bootloader (head.S) but instead of the vmlinux i want it to boot a normal elf file.

How do i change the vmlinux against a normal file?

regards Sven

    What does "file <your vmlinux>" tell you? AFAIK, vmlinux _is_ an ELF file...

    Cheers,

    Thats not an answer to my question...

    i want to replace the vmlinux ELF because i got problems booting my kernel. it's not boot everytime. it's more like it's booting not only half the time...

    i want to test if there is an error with the decompression so could someone help me to find the makefile i have to edit?
