Ok. By that definition, my board cannot safely use U-Boot's "reset" command. Would you accept a patch which makes it possible for a board to not implement a "reset" command at all? There are a few places in common/cmd_bootm.c which are converted to use panic("...") instead of printf("...")+do_reset(). Cheers, Kyle Moffett -- Curious about my work on the Debian powerpcspe port?
