This could be the cause of your trouble. Your u-boot may be quite out of date. By the way, have you tried flashing with the NOR u-boot? If that works, I would recommend you right away flash a new u-boot into NAND, then use that new u-boot to flash your kernel and rootfs. _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
