finding kernel jump address after "decompressing linux"

I'm trying to figure out what physical address the kernel jumps to 
after "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.". IIRC, there 
are two parts to a kernel image, one compressed part and one 
uncompressed. The uncompressed code decompresses the compressed part and 
puts it into memory then jumps to it. I'm using an ARM kernel, version 
2.6.38.

thanks,
Chris
