Hi :)
regarding ppc boards,oh, i didn't know that actually i'm a 22yo newbie guy which is interested in u-boot because i do study information systems in Brazil and i'm doing a linux distro for thin clients(as a final course project->monograph+software) and i got interested in u-boot because it seems the *correct* bootloader for my project ie: it seems far smaller than other ones and at once offers many features :) and i also studied/setup grub/lilo/syslinux :) i need to compare bootloaders and write down the features of each one and show which bootloader is better for each case ie: which one has 'best' features for diskless boot; which one is better for local boot(size, 'dinamyc configuration(ie: pass parameter on the fly)',...,...; ...
Kind Regards and Best Wishes,

sudo tar xjvf u-boot-1.3.3.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src
then i tried:
make distclean canyonlands_config all (as i read at http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootConfiguration )
You mention "u-boot on x86" in the subjct - are you aware that the Canyonlands board is not x86, but PPC?
What you should do is:
make distclean make canyonlands_config make allDo not try to perform all there steps in a single call to make - this cannot work.
mbdev-deb:/usr/src/u-boot-1.3.3# make distclean canyonlands_config all Configuring for canyonlands board... System not configured - see README make: ** [all] Erro 1
This is caused by your incorrect call to make - see above.
also, as you all can easely see, i was not able to 'configure' the system i tried many other things in a 'adhoc' way and i still not able to handle this :(
Please read the manual - it describes step by step what to do. If you had follwed the examples, aboveerror could have been avoided. See http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/Manual?stickboard=canyonlands
