This is the mailing list for uClinux kernel and
distribution development. What your bootloader does
or not or when or how is to 97% offtopic here.

But as I don't want to be responsible that Wolfgang
shreds you into tiny little pieces for not reading
the bootloader FAQ, I'll just quote
http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/HowCanILoadAndUncompressACompressedImage
for you:

"When you use the bootm command for such an image, U-Boot will
automatically uncompress the code while it is storing it at
that image's load address in RAM (given by the -a option to
the mkimage command).

As to the second question, by default, unless you say differently,
U-Boot will automatically start the image by jumping to its entry
point (given by the -e option to mkimage) after loading it."

Best regards,
Lars Friedrich
