Alfred,
There was something about new kernels not working with old boot loaders due to the way clock speeds are passed to the kernel. And I believe the error you described below is the one they identified. Prior to 2.4.5, they expected MHz. Try changing the envar clocks_in_mhz to 0 to get it pass Hz instead.

We already have u-boot 1.1.1 and 2.4 kernel working for us. But, while trying to get the 2.6 working. I get the Booting image at XXXX XXXX Starting Kernel ... And after that nothing. At this stage I am expecting the "Uncompressing Linux ......" What could be going wrong ? Same board, if I put in 2.4 on a 1.1.4 version u-boot, it boots fine. Is it some tty redirection issue ?? Only change from IXDP425 board is sdram configuration and ttyS1 for console instead of ttyS0. Suspecting later but then 2.4 shouldnt' have also booted up ? I am new to u-boot and would appreciate some help on issue. any pointers ? Regards, Alfred
