Hi All,

I still have the same problem with my non main-line mini6410 board 
(arm1176). I based my board support on newest u-boot with cleaned 
relocation code:

U-Boot 2010.12-rc1-00028-ga1f6774 (Oct 30 2010 - 17:44:20) for MINI6410

U-Boot code: 57E00000 -> 57E20B58  BSS: -> 57E26218

CPU:     S3C6400 at 532MHz
          Fclk = 532MHz, Hclk = 133MHz, Pclk = 66MHz (SYNC Mode)
Board:   MINI6410
monitor len: 00026218
ramsize: 08000000
TLB table at: 57ff0000
Top of RAM usable for U-Boot at: 57ff0000
Reserving 152k for U-Boot at: 57fc9000
Reserving 1280k for malloc() at: 57e89000
Reserving 24 Bytes for Board Info at: 57e88fe8
Reserving 92 Bytes for Global Data at: 57e88f8c
New Stack Pointer is: 57e88f88
RAM Configuration:
Bank #0: 50000000 128 MiB
relocation Offset is: 001c9000
monitor flash len: 00020B58
Now running in RAM - U-Boot at: 57fc9000
Using default environment

Destroy Hash Table: 57e26100 table = (null)

INSERT: table 57e26100, filled 2/67 rv 57e89274 ==> name="baudrate" 
value="115200"
INSERT: free(data = 57e89008)
INSERT: done

### main_loop entered: bootdelay=3

### main_loop: bootcmd="<UNDEFINED>"
MINI6410 # help
Unknown command 'help' - try 'help'
MINI6410 #

It seems like cmd table somehow isn't relocated or is corrupted.
I tried to change TEXT_BASE, then stack size, then malloc size, but in 
all cases result is the same. I use non standard nand_spl yet, which is 
only 10 lines of code to copy two nand pages to TEXT_BASE. I don't know 
if gcc or binutils version could cause such problem. There are versions 
of my tools:

$ arm-linux-gcc --version
arm-linux-gcc (Buildroot 2010.11-git) 4.4.5

$ arm-linux-ld --version
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.20.1.20100303

Eric, do you still have the same problem of missing commands with your 
kirkwood board?

Darius.
