Dear "alan A. A",

first some information: -ELDk + U-Boot 200908 -PPC405 custom board(IBM39 STB02500 LFA) -DM9000AEP on board
So this is a custom port, and we don't know your modifications to the code.
i have successfully booted the board with u-boot200908, but upon issuing a network command(like ping), the DM9000x driver enters infinite loop. Here is the output:
...
Data (writethrough) Cache is ON Instruction Cache is ON
...
[u-boot@CT550 boot]$ ping 192.168.1.22

Did you try disabling the data cache? And addressing the other issues reported before the network driver gets used?
Best regards,
