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). > One more thing. I have to enter the 'run bootcmd' at the u-boot prompt.

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.
