Yes - The kernel image was just one of many applications that was causing 
problems. Normally we boot the kernel image with bootm.

If the image is loaded with bootm - yes, but if a binary image is loaded 
directly with tftp or loadb - the cache is not flushed.

My bad - sorry. This is something that we added to our cache handler. I can 
put in the generic routine but only if you agree there is a problem - 
otherwise I will just tell people they shouldn't use go for anything other 
than U-Boot stand-alone applications.
