Hi, you should never use NOR u-boot for anything expect dfu-flashing. Reason: bootloader is important because it inits hw on boot and on resume. for example according to my measurements power consumption in suspend with nor-uboot is much higher. some things are really not controlled by kernel: bootloader inits something and kernel uses as it were init (many such things, any serial line is example). This may cause any kind of problems, which you'll never notice on first glance - power consumption, memory timings, anything else. If you really like u-boot, just flash it to nand and enjoy (i am maintaining working version http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/U-boot-gena2x ), it should work with all qtmokos or other distros. It is realatively easy to reflash nor u-boot btw.
