Hi Suman,

Thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately, updating to v2013.07 u-boot, and
enabling the kernel config items you mentioned, didn't make a difference.

Could you share your boot.scr? I'm still using the one from the TI GLSDK,
but maybe something has changed since the 3.8 kernel? Also, how do you
build your kernel? I'm doing "make LOADADDR=0x80008000 uImage" because
newer kernels won't build without the LOADADDR= bit.

I guess you TI guys know how all this works, but for an outsider like me
it's not so clear ;)
