Hi Dirk,
this sounds oddly familiar. Which gcc version are you using? 4.8? gcc
4.8 is broken for powerpc u-boot.
Thanks for the pointer. I am using gcc 4.7.2.
For more background search for the "Relocation issue - need help!" started by Wolfgang Denk on the mailing list.
I will researching this. Oddly enough, I was able to reflash u-boot itself
many times without issues. However, when I am reflashing the Linux kernel I am seeing this issue. The other odd thing is that the board I am working with has two identical sections with the exact same setup of CPU, memory, flash, etc. It works on one section but does not on the other. We also tried a second board that shows the exact same behavior with the same sections. Digging into it with the hardware folks.
Cheers, Rudi
