[U-Boot] Running vanilla u-boot v2012.10 on Guruplug

[Dirk Heinrichs]

Hello,

I have compiled u-boot v2012.10 for my Guruplug and would like to test it from 
RAM before I write it to flash. So following instructions I found via internet 
search I load the u-boot.kwb from SATA disk into RAM at address 0x800000 
(ext2load ide 0:1 0x800000 u-boot.kwb) and then start it with "go 0x800200".

Unfortunately, this only restarts the running u-boot (v2012.04.01 from Debian) 
instead of starting the new one.

So my questions are:

1) Does running from RAM this way work at all?
2) If I can't test it from RAM, is it save to write it to flash anyway?

Thanks...

	Dirk
