Hello,
Haven't tried using u-boot with these boards, but here are couple earlier postings
to this list (sorry if you have look through them already):

You might want to start with XAPP542
http://direct.xilinx.com/bvdocs/appnotes/xapp542.pdf
http://direct.xilinx.com/bvdocs/appnotes/xapp542.zip
The zip file includes the U-Boot patch for Linux kernel 2.4.

Joe,
please have a look at http://www.xilinx.com/ml410-p. The pages do
contain information, documentation, and examples on how to use U-Boot
and Linux 2.4 on the ML410.

For me this sounds like
1) patching kernel is required to get the correct params from u-boot
2) Xilinx has the recipes for 2.4 kernel
3) there is no ready-to-use recipe for 2.6 kernel, but it should not
be too difficult to adapt the one for 2.4 kernel
Thanks,
Andrei
