I see.
Sorry, not having a Ebony board here for reference I dont know what's
happening to you. You may want to attach a BDI2000 and debug the boot
sequence (check for the arguments passed to the kernel).

The default U-Boot config file for the Ebony board includes:
#define CONFIG_BOOTDELAY -1 /* disable autoboot */
Define some useful delay here (say 5 for 5 seconds) and re-build
U-Boot.

You could end up being oddly sad and full of a strange, diffuse com-
passion which would lead you to believe that it might be a good idea
