Normally you can. There is nothing in  U-Boot  which  would  make  it
specifically dependent on a kernel version; on contrary, we try to be
as generic as possible.

We don't know this kernel tree ... Ask the guys who wrote such a
comment.

We don't know your kernel tree or what it expects.

On the other hand, I've been  using  old  versions  of  U-Boot  (like
0.4.0) with 2.6 kernels without any problems.

We could be more helpful if you provided  more  information,  like  a
*comple*  log  of  your  comands and all output. I speculate that you
don't use a correct U-Boot image at al. What exact command do you use
to build the kernel image, and what are the  last  20...30  lines  of
output of this command?
