Hi,

I have a puzzle on booting LINUX under u-boot on my
custom 8xx board.Some boot-up message didn't come up
as DEMO board did.What's the problem with between
linux kernel and u-boot?For the sake of unsuccessful
behaviors on serveral big applications(some small
programs worked fine with booted linux kernel),I
suspect these unexpected results have something to do
with the loss message.Any hints?

Demo Board boot-up message:
