[U-Boot] Regarding linux kernel booting.

[Thirumalai]

Hi all,
        I am in bit of peculiar problem on booting linux kernel on my 
MPC7448-TSi108 based custom board. I am using u-boot 1.3.4 which was 
compiled on ELDK- 4.0. when i use bootp command to download the kernel image 
from the tftp server that was already working with other custom boards the 
kernel is not getting downloaded but if i am setting it to another 
environment variable i.e
"> set ideboot bootp" and try to boot using "> run ideboot" this time the 
kernel image file is getting downloaded.
      kindly give me suggestion on this. i don't have any clue on what is 
happening ? The host system what ever i used for compilation is also same.
Regards,
T.

Post a transcript of a session which shows how bootp fails and how the
"run ideboot" succeeds.  Without this, we have no idea what "is not
getting downloaded" actually means.

Apart from that this paragraph is the usual "why don't you use a recent
U-Boot and toolchain and is the problem then still reproducible"
paragraph?  Hopefully, this relieves Wolfgang of writing at least one
mail :)

Thanks
