[U-Boot-Users] cannot read flash manufact. id on 405EP with u-boot-1.1.6

[Tom Brown <brown@esteem.com>]

Hi,

We currently use u-boot-1.0.0 successfully on our 405EP SBC. Last year, we 
upgraded our toolchain from
gcc-3.2.2-uClibc-0.9.20-binutils-2.13.2.1-linux-2.4.21-powerpc
to
gcc-3.4.3-uClibc-0.9.27-binutils-2.15.91.0.2-linux-2.4.27-powerpc

When we made the upgrade we couldn't get u-boot-1.0.0 to compile with the new 
toolchain. Now, we'd like to upgrade u-boot so it compiles with the same 
toolchain as our firmware image. I am able to get u-boot-1.1.6 to compile 
with the new toolchain. However, it will not get past recognizing the flash 
during boot. The output is given below. As you can see, it is reading a value 
of 0x1f8b08 for the manufacturer type when it should be reading 0x0001 for 
AMD. We get the same problem when we try to use u-boot-1.1.0. Any ideas on 
what we need to look at?

Thanks,
Tom
