Sorry for not being clear. What I meant was: this is a bug that needs
to be fixed (patches welcome).

Good. At least one problem solved.

Hm... I am not sure what exactly the OpenOCD debugger does when you
run the reset command; eventually it performs some initializations
(defined in sheevaplug.cfg ?), and/or prevents others. The CPU may, or
may not, be in the virgin state expected by U-Boot.

Detach the debugger, and perform a real hard reset instead. Or try to
configure the debugger not to perform any initializations (i. e. the
equivalent of the "reset run" command on BDI2000/30000).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
