[U-Boot-Users] fatload'ing kernel image from CF

Are there any partitioning requirements associated with loading files using the fatload command? I have found that if I try to load a file from the 2nd partition and the 1st partition exceeds a certain size, the fatload command fails.

For instance, with part1=8MB and part2=4MB, I see the following error when loading an image from the 2nd partition:

=> fatload ace 0:2 140000 uimage reading uimage Invalid FAT entry

26624 bytes read

However, with part1=4MB and part2=4MB, the same file loads fine from the 2nd partition. If I put the file in the first partition it always loads fine.

Both partitions were formatted using mkfs.msdos.

From linux, I can read and write all partitions to my hearts content

which indicates that the hardware itself is ok.
