Hi all,

I'm booting a newly compiled u-boot-1.1.4 image on my MPC8540,
and it doesn't work. It hangs after this..

On debugging ,  " In relocating the command table",  *for* loop is going 
on infinite loop in lib/ppc/board.c.
       Can anyone help in this.

Please use current code. It makes little sense to hunt down  problems
with such old code.

Hi,
      

I'm booting a newly compiled u-boot-1.1.4 image on my MPC8540,
and it doesn't work. when i debugged i found in lib_ppc/board.c

	for (cmdtp = &__u_boot_cmd_start; cmdtp !=  &__u_boot_cmd_end; cmdtp++)

&__u_boot_cmd_start=0fff3750

&__u_boot_cmd_end =0fff43b8
 and cmdtp is encremanted as  0x18 each 
times..but it is not matching with u_boot_cmd_end so loop goes on until 
ffffffff and hangs..
what could be the problem..
can anyone plz help me to proceed..
Thanks
Revathy

I already told you what to do, and I hereby repeat it once more. Note
that I won't repeat it again:

Please use current code, i. e. top of tree from the git repository.

I think your loader script (.lds) is not up to date to work with your 
toolchain (ld version 2.16 or later). See the following commit.

http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=807d5d7319330e336ab34a5623c5e0d73b87d540

I had similar issue when I updated the toolchain and tried to compile 
1.3 based board lds script. Obviously working with latest U-Boot does 
not help if your board was not in public git repository when this patch 
got in.
