Do you use the same U-Boot versions on both the "good" and the "bad"
board?

It's because in the last time we reworked the boot process thoroughly
and the multi-image file is deprecated in favour of the "FIT" images
(cf. doc/uImage.FIT).

So maybe the non-working board has a U-Boot with a problem in the
multi-image file handling...

Apart from that, you should use the U-Boot mailing list more appropriate
for such topics (I added a CC and set f'up).

Thanks
