I tested this again on OMAP3 systems (including Beagle):

OMAP3 beagleboard.org # loadb ${uimage_addr}

As you can see, this is working without any problems.

So either your host systems is still misconfigured (which I consoder
most likely), or your target system hast issues (instable RAM and.or
serial port, etc.), or you have been doing something wrong.

I don't think there is a problem in the mainline U-Boot code.

Best regards,
