Hello, I've recently been playing around with u-boot on a pandaboard Rev A1. The rest of my environment is an MLO built from x-loader git hash c4289f1bee035dea41536c5ba5e1bc36c7d493c4, and booting an ubuntu 11.04 kernel 2.6.38-1208-omap4. Up until tag v2011.06, u-boot works flawlessly (as far as I've tested) on this combination. However, if I take any u-boot release after that, including v2011.09 and u-boot git head, u-boot hangs very early on:
Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.5.1 (Nov 2 2011 - 08:55:25) Reading boot sector Loading u-boot.bin from mmc
And the status LEDs blink rapidly.
I bisected the problem down to commit bcae72116257201d7288cb8c525a29aea4875b95; prior to that commit, I can successfully[1] boot u-boot on the pandaboard, but after that I cannot.
I'm going to poke at it a bit more, but does anyone have any ideas of what is going on here?

[1] Well, I can at least get beyond "Loading u-boot.bin from mmc" and boot the kernel and userland. For some reason with this setup I can't get ethernet to work, but one problem at a time.
