Thanks for the quick reply Stefano.

I actually came across the "iminfo" command and ran it against both
memory locations:


=>
=> iminfo 0xFF000000

## Checking Image at ff000000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-2.6.37-rc1-00171-gfd642d1-
   Created:      2010-11-24  12:16:54 UTC
   Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
   Data Size:    1544455 Bytes =  1.5 MB
   Load Address: 00000000
   Entry Point:  00000000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
=> <INTERRUPT>
=>
=> iminfo 0xFF2A0000

## Checking Image at ff2a0000 ...
   Bad Magic Number
=>

Would this confirm your suspicion of the need to upgrade the u-boot?

Thanks...Jim

I am wondering if a so old u-boot is able to boot a kernel with the
device tree. I am unsure, but I think that FDT support was added in a
later version. You should update u-boot, or try generating cuImage.dtb
instead of uImage. Really it should be better to update U-Boot...

Best regards,
