[U-Boot] U-Boot not auto booting

[Michael Aldridge]

the autobooting function of uboot is not functioning properly on my
sheevaplug with debian.

I have set the bootcmd and bootdelay variables, but I still can't get it to
work.  I can watch the countdown hit zero, and I do not hit any buttons and
then the whole process just stops at the prompt.

If I disconnect the serial cable from the computer, it still fails to
proceed with the boot process.

Below is the dump of 'printenv'  any suggestions?
