Hmm... Standard bootloader which comes with 405ep eval board works fine with the Linux kernel, U-Boot - doesn't, and you are being told that it's not a U-Boot problem ? So why don't you just use IBM bootloader and not U-Boot if you cannot get help from u-boot maillist? Eugene. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
