Re: CVS commit: src/sys/arch/evbarm/conf

[Jared McNeill <jmcneill%invisible.ca@localhost>]

Because we are using image type "kernel_noload" instead of "kernel" for 
GENERIC. The header on "kernel" type images contains a load address, and 
U-Boot will uncompress the kernel there. For "kernel_noload" type images 
there is no load address specified, with the expectation that the kernel 
will be executed in place.

It's probably not very hard to fix U-Boot to handle this case..
