Hi Chris,
Hm... U-Boot 1.2.0 is very old. Please consider it obsolelte and unsupported. Is there any special reason for not using current code?
No reason, UBoot 1.2.0 is in ELDK4.1. Will seek and download latest uboot
Stable tarballs can be found on our ftp server[1] - git access to the very latest and greatest is available here[2].
See also the FAQ at http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootCrashAfterRelocation
Does the relocation occur before checking the DDR size?
For PowerPC we relocate to the highest possible RAM address, so no we need to probe RAM before we can relocate. Also I would think that we do not even get to the relocation but hang in the probing phase. You should really hook up a JTAG debugger and find out what's wrong.
Best wishes Detlev
