Dear Friends,
I am using u-boot and it is first loading into the ram from flash and then starts booting. The problem is its taking a lot of time in loading the image from flash to ram and then starts booting from it. Following is the output for printenv variables. I am new to u-boot and thus not much aware of it. On other board there is redboot installed and it loads kernel in just flash and starts booting the kernel.
Kindly let me know if you need any information.
Thank you, Ankur.

Hi Ankur,
I have no experience with NAND/jffs2, but the following thread probably applies: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/32434
Summary: jffs2 is slow. The thread has discussion of various options to speed up boot time.
Best regards, gvb
