Sorry, I fail to understand why you are now porting Linux v2.6.24,
which is also 5 years old...

As your code is not known tous, it is impossible to even guess what
might be the cause.  Also, we cannot remember all bugs fixed in U-Boot
and Linux for the last 5 years - for example, for U-Boot since v1.3.1
we have added 14238 commits from 727 developers; a total of 1619599
lines has been added, 1030461 removed, and 589138 changed.

It would really be best to update and use current code instead.  The
chances for free community help are very small for 5 year old
out-of-tree code.  Sorry.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
