Do you have a patch? That would be very useful.

Seems like debugging in uncompressor was broken some time ago:

config DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS
        bool
		depends on ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM || PLAT_SAMSUNG ||         ARM_SINGLE_ARMV7M
	        default y if DEBUG_LL && !DEBUG_OMAP2PLUS_UART && 
		                     (!DEBUG_TEGRA_UART || !ZBOOT_ROM)
        && \!DEBUG_BRCMSTB_UART

RAM size should be ok... how do I check for OMAP HS problems?
