The patch didn't improve my first few test cases. CF and USB on an EP93xx board.
I'm sending you an image off-list.

Hi, I try my fix and old version of u-boot system. The only different is the align of the buffer. The hardware that I have is tested with the 32Mb, 64Mb, 128Mb, 256Mb, and it works fine. I try the scripts without any problem... but the tests doesn't cover all the possibility. Can you send me a dd of a compact flash of 64Mb that failed. I rewrite it and test and maybe post a patch.
Regards Michael

FYI, I too have been seeing this problem. It is 100% reproducible. Itseems to be a FAT32 problem with media 256MB and smaller.
I have tried various media sizes between 64MB and 2GB, MMC/SD, USB andCF media types, different boards (PXA270, EP93xx and IMX31), and lastly both the 1.3.2 and the 1.2.0 releases.
The 64MB, 128MB and 256MB fails under *ALL* cases when using FAT32. Allthe other sises work with FAT32 and *all* of the media works fine with FAT16.
FYI, I use "mkfs.vfat -F 32" under linux to make the filesystems. All fingers are pointing to the FAT32 code and not hardware dependentcode. It looks like a media size related problem. This is also an old bug given that it's in the 1.2.0 sources.
