I know neither of these, but it seems everybody else hase no problems compiling the code. We're using the ELDK, and it workes without any problems. > I know the crosscompiler works, because I've compiled busybox and a kernel and You did not bother to mention any specific error message you get when following the instructions.

Now my goal is to stop using the nfsmount (timesys > default) and boot from the flash (probably with an initrd image). What makes you think that this requires to recompile U-Boot?

RTFM.
