Since you're using a compressed kernel ...

... you need to load the image somewhere else. Otherwise, u-boot will decompress

the kernel over the compressed image (the compressed image gets corrupted).

Try downloading the image to a higher address, say 0150_0000 or something.

Then when it is decompressed to 0100_0000 you won't have any overlap.

Specifying a ramdisk using the bootm command won't work. The kernel doesn't

accept parameters from the bootloader. You'll have to use another technique.

Yes, there are many people who used u-boot to with several versions of linux

(and ecos) on a variety of altera (and custom) boards. Don't get frustrated,

you're very close to success :-)
