new uboot doesn't load from MicroSD

[bad_gui]

I looked at other posts describing problems with the DENX uboot and microSD but I see something different
when I try installing on my Guruplug Server Plus.  I had a previous version of uboot load from a microSD but
had to replace due to I/O errors corrupting it.

I followed these instructions to install Debian Squeeze on a new microSD

Everything went well until I tried booting from the new SD.  I tried both a USB boot and the SD instructions.

Code:

I tried both usb and SD (it was unclear from the instructions whether Guruplug always sees SD as USB or just during install).

I don't understand why mmc init isn't in uboot help menu and I get "command not recognized."

When I ran usb tree, my SD showed up as number 3 and that was what I was mistakenly using.

This is what I should have done:

Code:

Marvell>> usb devices

USB device 0: Vendor: Generic  Rev: 9909 Prod: STORAGE DEVICE 
            Type: Removable Hard Disk
            Capacity: not available
Marvell>> usb partitions
## Unknown partition table


Partition Map for USB device 1  --   Partition Type: DOS

    1                 2048          440320      83
    2               442368         6887424      83
    3              7331838          440322       5 Extd

Device 1 is the SD card and device 2 is a usb stick

So I changed the device number to 1 and now the guruplug boots up.

bootcmd_usb=usb start; ext2load usb 1:1 0x00800000 /uImage; ext2load usb 1:1 0x01100000 /uInitrd
