[U-Boot] I can not read Linux image from my nand flash

The previous u-boot version I use is U-boot 1.2.0, an ancient version.
So I upgrade the u-boot to 2009-08.
The platform is MPC8247.
About build warnings, some warnings in printf for not proper type, and
yes, I get the 64-bit printf warning :

nand_util.c:45:2: warning: #warning Please define
CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_VSPRINTF for correct output!

After I change the loff_t from long long to unsigned long, it works fine now.
