I download the zImage of linux provided by hippo. 

Upon booting, the terminal reports: 

Uncompressing Linux...Ok, booting the kernel 

I searched th ewhole code of nios linux ,I found nothing about it.... 

In i386 arch, there is a function like  

------------------------------------ 

decompress_kernel()  

{ 

puts("Uncompressing Linux... "); 

gunzip(); 

puts("Ok, booting the kernel.\n"); 

} 

-------------------------------------- 

But nios-linux has not .why?

I added the zImage patches to Nios2, which were not in microtronix 1.4 release. 

find the sources in ~/uClinux-dist-test/linux-2.6.x/arch/nios2nommu/boot
