[U-Boot-Users] Unable to store environment variables

[v.sudeep at exgate.tek.com]

Hello,

I am a newbie to U-Boot. 

I am in the process of trying to load linux on the MPC8266ADS-PCI board. I
compiled the u-boot code and flashed it in. The U-Boot comes up. But I am
unable to save any of the environmental variables.

What should I be looking for ?? And what are the changes that I should be
doing. Please suggest.

Details are as below.
