Kernel fails to boot with "crc error -- System halted"

[Ellis Andrew]

Hi

I have run into a major problem in that when I program my kernel into 
flash on my system or try and run it from RAM I get the following 
output:

## Booting image at 00060000 ...
## Copy image from flash 00060000 to ram 00200000 ...
Image Name:
Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size:    1871640 Bytes =  1.8 MB
Load Address: 00008000
Entry Point:  00008000
Verifying Checksum ... OK
OK

Starting kernel ...

Uncompressing Linux.............................................  
..................................................  ....................

crc error

-- System halted


The checksum passes, but the image type is uncompressed, so why is the kernel trying to decompress?

From a successful build I had the same message about uncompressing the 
kernel, so I don't understand what the problem is. I have previously 
been able to build and run kernels without the above problem. I cannot 
work out what I have done to cause this problem, could someone please 
enlighten me as to what could be going wrong?

Kind regards

Andrew
