Hello, pbs with Uboot/Nand... :(

First of all, thanks to all contributors for helping people !!

Then.. sorry for my scholar english (and maybe incorrect) I'm french ;)

ok let's talks about my problem(s) :

I've two GFH. One is fine, running Arch.. The second one is running.. almost..

I've installed a jeff's u-boot through the script.

I can boot from USB on the Rescue System. (thanks !)

But when I want to upgrade the Uboot :

Finished pass 1 successfully

try everything i've found to clean this and had a proper uboot..

the GFH boots on archlinux, rescue system, get a DHCP address, be accessed through ssh but i can't see anything on netconsole..

Serial adapter is on the way..

Any ideas ?

To trouble shoot netconsole problem, boot into the Rescue system, and run

fw_printenv

Pls post the output here.

Without surprise :'( :


fw_printenv :

Too few good blocks within range
