Well, what did you expect when you configure for board "A" and run on
board "B"?

If you really have a "BMW" Board then you must configure U-Boot for
the "BMW" board. Any other board configuration cannot work.

You can for example use the ELDK. See

hi Wolfgang,

i used BMW configuration and now o/p is

U-Boot 1.1.6 (Sep  3 2008 - 21:48:59)

CPU:   MPC8245 Revision 1.2 at 198 MHz: 16 kB I-Cache 16 kB D-Cache
Board: BMW MPC8245/KAHLUA2 - CHRP (MAP B)
Built: Sep  3 2008 at 21:48:59
Local Bus at 99 MHz

What are macros i have to look at to pass the FLASH test.and actual DRAM is
256 MB but its showing 64 MB.
