Building a initramfs image

KERNEL := kernel-bin | patch-cmdline | lzma -d20 | netgear-uImage l

I tried both the solutions suggested.

$(STAGING_DIR_HOST)/bin/lzma e $(1) -d20 $(3) $(2) $(STAGING_DIR_HOST)/bin/lzma e $(1) -lc1 -lp2 -pb2 -d20 $(3) $(2)

But the problem still persisted. The error messages were different when I TFTP ed it to 0x80060000 to 0x80010000 addresses.

Why does the u-boot have a problem when it tries to uncompress an image from RAM. The same image works fine when uncompressed from flash.

I did manager to build an initramfs without any compression but still it doesn't boot and gets stuck in "Starting the kernel...."
