Thanks for clearing that up.
One other question, if i update to u-boot 1.3.4 or whatever is the latest, can i configure so that i doesn't use FDT to boot kernel ?
TIA

Uh, OK. Those are both pretty darn old by
now.....
does u-boot-1.2.0 pass a flatten device tree
to the
kernel ?
Maybe.
how do i make confirm this ? TIA
I believe the 4xx boards were probably not using FDT back then. You can confirm by "help bootm" -- if it only takes the kernel addy and the optional ramdisk addy, then it is non-FDT.
But whether or not u-boot is FDT capable is pretty much moot point if you are on a v2.4.x kernel, as they don't use FDT.
