This is to be expected.  U-Boot is supposed to start on a system
coming directly out of reset.  If you try to run it on a
pre-initialized system, a number of assumptions / requirements may not
be met, and it will not work - actual behaviour depends on the
hardware, but the general rule is that such a use is bound to fail.


Best regards,
