[U-Boot] u-boot stucks before rellocation

[German Strous]

Hello,
 
I am moving to u-boot version 03.2011.
I have a custom board which has OMAP 3530 (such as beagleboard's).
I'm using NOR flash to store my environment.
The problem is that u-boot checks crc on the env memory, and it falls into 'Data Abort' exception
when trying to do it. 
The crc check happens in 'env_init' function in board_init_f (prioir the rellocation).
What should I do? Is it a bug that the env_init touches the NOR memory prioir the rellocation?
The problem seems to be very similar to the one below.
Thank you very much,
German.

I cannot see a reason why pci_init should not work before relocation as 
long as it does not read or write BSS variables or write non-const 
initialized data -- or overflow the (admittedly limited) C stack.

Are you asking because you discovered that pci_init does not work when 
called from board_init_f? If so, did you determine exactly what goes wrong?
