I couldn't find the old uboot config so I updated the eval board to
u-boot 1.2.0 and it fixed the problem.

Now I'm back to an older problem of not being able to open the boot console.
Kernel command line: console=ttyPSC0,115200
mtdparts=physmap-flash.0:256k(ubootl),1792k(kernel),13312k(jffs2)......

......
[   46.109552] Freeing unused kernel memory: 152k init
[   46.125618] Warning: unable to open an initial console.


uboot 1.2.0 is way faster!
