Dear Robert,

i believe i've solved this issue, at least. i downloaded ELDK 4.2 and installed the ppc_8xx- toolchain. with that, i managed to compile u-boot 2010.12 and flashed it to my TQM860, reset and, lo and behold, i have a 2010.12 u-boot. so my u-boot issue seems to be resolved.
You update U-Boot, but to a version 4 releases old. Why not to current code?
which generated a uImage file. but as i understand it, i want a cuImage-format file as i used with my lite5200, so i edited the file
No. Now you don't need a cuImage nay more. Just use the DT as I showed you in the builkd and boot log I sent before.
for the sake of clarification, you write that i don't *need* cuImages anymore, but that's not the same as saying that i *must* move to using device trees. in fact, a cuImage file still works just fine for my lite5200 boards, so obviously the version of u-boot that i've flashed to my TQM boards can still handle that format.
so while it's probably a good idea to move to the device tree recipe, that still doesn't explain why i can't use a cuImage file for my tqm boards. so i'll test the device tree process later today, but i'm still curious as to why a cuImage format file still fails in this case when it works just fine for the other boards.
