Linux 2.6 and uboot

[Clint Thomas]

Is there any correlation between the version of U-boot to use on a board
and the version of the Linux kernel you plan to use? Current I'm running
U-boot 1.1.2 with kernel 2.4.26 on my MPC85xx board, but i'm trying to
migrate to the latest 2.6 kernel. I am getting a kernel hang at boot
when it registers socket family 17, so I was wondering if it might have
to do with u-boot before exploring the debug route.
