It didn't occur to me to go to Parent Directory; so thankyou.

It is dated November, that bug was fixed by early August; I have not
ever erased the boot partition as by the time I started getting serious
it was all over :)

I did of lot of trials with that really old u-boot, with no problems.
THen I tried a FIC one of March 5
u-boot-gta01bv4-1.3.1+git0+10bbb38a402a2faf18858c451bcdc63d45888e6e+svn4164-r3.bin

THe new one the difference is that when it goes to the SD card it
prints the Manufacturer details and then
READ_BL_LEN=14, C_SIZE_MULT-7, C_SIZE=4095
size=0

whereas the older one fills in a big number for size and goes ahead.

Does this happen to anyone else?

thanks
