[U-Boot] Booting uImage on the mx31

Hi,

I am using an uImage generated by LTIB .  I am not sure how the ideal
uImage is generated for the PDK board.
I try booting this uimage from RAM and then load it at 80008000.

It gets stuck after "done, booting the kernel." Please see the bootup
messages below.

Any hints?  I hope with, 0x80008000 as the load address on the MX31,
you eliminate the cause of one probable failure, overlay memory  with
the existing code on RAM e.g. existing u-boot and the compressed
kernel image
