Ummm... the number of blocks is obviously bogus -  255456  blocks  is
124  MB;  I  don't  think  that's the real size of your kernel image.
Probably you made some error when storing the image to the USB stick.

How did you write the image to the USB stick?

You can also try looking at the image data, something like this:

=> tft 100000 uImage
=> md 100000
=> usb read 200000 20 10
=> md 200000

Do you see any difference?

It may be bad manners to talk with your mouth full, but it isn't  too
good either if you speak when your head is empty.
