Great!  Good to see some mileage from my port!

Yes, and no :)  Normal if you have only one (1) DIMM populated.  If
there are two (2) DIMMs you _*shouldn't*_ see that message.  I don't
have another DIMM handy, so I couldn't test that.  If the message
bothers you that much, you can remove the second SPD_EEPROM address from
the config (do this locally though).

Looks like you have one DIMM installed.

There's your problem. Do the following:
setenv ethaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
setenv eth1addr YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
setenv eth2addr ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ
setenv eth3addr AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA

where the 'xx', 'yy', etc are the ethernet mac addresses for your
board.  (Flip it over, they are on stickers on the bottom of the board).

You'll want to set the others as appropriate also...

Hmmm...  since your setup is using EMAC0, ensure you have the cable in
port 0.  Also, the only enet group supported is group 4, so ensure you
have the jumpers set that way. (J79, J80, J29, J31, J76, J81) are all
1-8 and 3-6.Good luck,
