[U-Boot] Problem booting Linux from Flash

Hi all,

I am trying to boot  Linux from flash on MIPS Board.
When uBoot tries to boot Linux it fails saying "Verifying Checksum 
Failed.... bad data crc".
The bootcmd is fsload 0x80800000 /boot/uImage; bootm 0x80800000.

But When i do a tftp of the same image(uImage) to same 
address(0x80800000) it works fine.
What might be the problem when it is loading uImage from flash?

Log is as shown below:
