I had some problems with Debian, so I decided to wipe and start again, and whilst at it, load the new DENX u-boot. I am installing to internal NAND for performance reasons.
After a whole evening wasted because ESIA was copying zero byte instimg and initrd... Sorted that by copying the files manually, and I can get the provided Debian ESIA image loaded and it booting.
However, there is something badly wrong with it, as CXBikers kernel update scripts fail to work for numerous reasons.
I then used my Debian rootfs again using ESIA, and it loaded the old kernel that ships with it, but with the updated rootfs (after changing the MD5 checksum in the manifest).
CXBikers kernel then flashes correctly, however it does not boot, it hangs on "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.".
Can someone take a look here at my uboot enviroment and see if it looks sensible?

Really keen to get this back online, as it's my mailserver amonst other things, and my ISP will soon start bouncing messages.
