  RedBoot> version displays:
   RedBoot(tm) ... env - built July 16 2001
   Platform: IQ80310(XSCALE)
   RAM: 0xa0000000-0xa2000000, 0xa0011450-0xa1fd0000

   I have plenty of memory.i stopped using '-r' option.

   All i want to do is:
    copy boot/compressed/vmlinux image into flash and
    run 'fis load vmlinux'.
    Now, i am able to do that just with vmlinux, but, 
    'fis load vmlinux' gives me an error with file format
    something like 'file not executable'. That's when i decided
    to convert vmlinux to vmlinux.srec, using objcopy and try
    again, whence i failed to load the file itself.
    i am following what is given in Assabet 2.4.5 document on 
    RedBoot and loading vmlinux kernel.

   I appreciate your help.
  Thanks & Regards
   Venkat M.
