Actually I think that using  "CFG_FLASH_BASE=0xFF800000"  or  similar
for  a  high-boot configuration is not optimal, as it does not adjust
automatically for varying flash sizes.

Usually I use something like

	#define CFG_FLASH_BASE	(0-flash_info[0].size)

or even

	#define CFG_FLASH_BASE	(0-flash_info[0].size-flash_info[1].size)

in such cases.


Just an idea....

No, I'm not going to explain it. If you  can't  figure  it  out,  you
didn't want to know anyway... :-)
