"Bad Magic Number" after u-boot.bin update

[jdonth]

I set out to install Debian on my plug via Martin's  web page ( http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html ).

I did not have the latest u-boot so I went to ( http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/uboot-upgrade.html ) and followed the usb upgrade method:

Code:

usb start
fatload usb 0:1 0x0800000 uboot.bin
nand erase 0x0 0xa0000
nand write 0x0800000 0x0 0xa0000

After a reboot, I am getting "Bad Magic Number". I had previously used the Alpha-6 installer and that has worked perfectly. I'm thinking it has to do with my nand partitions?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
~Joe

Can you post the full boot log?  And the output of "printenv"?

When I booted the plug this morning, I'm not getting the "bad Magic Number" but it is still not working.

My boot code:

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Your u-boot is configured to boot from a TFTP server, which you probably don't have.  I guess you let the u-boot upgrade process overwrite the u-boot config (which you shouldn't have done).

Anyway, you can simply follow the instructions to install Debian and it will work.  If you want to boot from the OS in flash, you have to read this forum to find out how to configure u-boot (I don't know off-hand).
