Hi,
I try my fix and old version of u-boot system. The only different is the 
align of the buffer. The hardware that I have is tested with the 32Mb, 
64Mb, 128Mb, 256Mb, and it works fine.
I try the scripts without any problem... but the tests doesn't cover all 
the possibility. Can you send me a dd of a compact flash of 64Mb that 
failed. I rewrite it and test and maybe
post a patch.

Regards Michael
