[U-Boot-Users] bus fault in calling eth_init()

Hi,

I've compiled up 1.1.6 and loaded it onto our board. I can't load linux 
because I can't do a tftp. I get a bus fault every time I use the tftp 
command or the ping command. I put some printf's into u-boot to try to 
diagnose the problem. What I've come up with is the call to eth_init() is the 
problem. Not the code in eth_init(), but the actuall call. Any ideas on what 
the problem may be or what I need to be looking at?

The output of the bootup and result of the ping command is given below.

Thanks,
Tom
