[U-Boot] Help with u-boot and network on SDP4430 (Blaze) platform

Hi,
I am having few issues that I am having with u-boot and linux kernel, and I do not understand it.
For example,
If I use latest u-boot, compile it natively for sdp4430, it boots the 26.6.38 kernel, however network interface(eth0) is missing. Even if I modprobe KS8851 driver the interface is missing, so there is no network.
If I use older u-boot that is working on blaze platform, Network is foun when the kernel boots boots up, but kernel hangs later on .
But latest u-boot and any kernel works on panda board. It always has network initialized and kernel boots.
I looked around the u-boot code/config (for panda and blaze), but I did not see anything that can be causin network interface to come up or kernel to hang.
Googling around showed some chage to TEXT_BASE address. So I tried it, but then u-boot did not work anymore.
I am a lot confused as to how MLO, u-boot, and kernel are dependent on what each one does.
Any help with this is very much appreciated.
Best Regards Miko

Did you try reding the documentation?
For example,
If I use latest u-boot, compile it natively for sdp4430, it boots the
26.6.38 kernel, however network interface(eth0) is missing. Even if I modprobe KS8851 driver the interface is missing, so there is no network.
For example, did you read the FAQ entry "Ethernet does not work in Linux" ?
