Please restrict your line length to some 70 charatcers or so.
Also carefully check where you are posting to.
This is the U-Boot mailing list, and your problems appears not to be
related to U-Boot. You should post Linux related issues on a Linux
mailing list.

Please read the Linux kernel documentation for correct setup of boot

I guess your kernel determined the IP address using DHCP. You did not
tell him not to do - for that, the "ip=" parameter needs more
components, especially a trailing ":off" part.
