Hi everyone.
This is my first post onto this mailing list, so please forgive me in
advance if i am not following the correct protocol
with posts and such.

I have u-boot working it seems almost 100%, however i have a problem with
starting the linux kernel using bootm.

I am using eldk 2.1.0 patched upto 2.2.0.
Linux_2_4_devel cvs (snapshot 09/12/03)
Hardware setup
Flash Base address      0xa00000000 ->	0xa1000000 ( AMD29LV640 x2 16-bit
wide)
SDRAM		      	0x00000000 -> 	0x01000000 
Serial			SMC1 @ 38k4
Net			FEC

I can tftp the uImage into RAM, then cp.b into flash. This process is fine.
But when running the image bootm command, it seems not to continue.
