Hi,
I'm booting a newly compiled u-boot-1.1.4 image on my MPC8540, and it doesn't work. when i debugged i found in lib_ppc/board.c
for (cmdtp = &__u_boot_cmd_start; cmdtp != &__u_boot_cmd_end; cmdtp++)
&__u_boot_cmd_start=0fff3750
&__u_boot_cmd_end =0fff43b8 and cmdtp is encremanted as 0x18 each times..but it is not matching with u_boot_cmd_end so loop goes on until ffffffff and hangs.. what could be the problem.. can anyone plz help me to proceed.. Thanks Revathy
I think your loader script (.lds) is not up to date to work with your toolchain (ld version 2.16 or later). See the following commit.

I had similar issue when I updated the toolchain and tried to compile 1.3 based board lds script. Obviously working with latest U-Boot does not help if your board was not in public git repository when this patch got in.
