I'm in a similar situation, though I haven't tried anything in u-boot.  This
happened when I opkg updated the system tonight from a 20080722 image (which
appears to be the most recent available image on the buildhost).  I've had
this problem after updating both ASU and 2007.2 images.  Also, I received
the following error on each rootfs while opkg updating:

[snip]
Configuring kernel
update-alternatives: Linking //boot/uImage to uImage-2.6.24
Configuring kernel-2.6.24
Configuring kernel-image-2.6.24
Upgrading Kernel in Flash
DO NOT stop this process
Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 7e0000 -- 98 % complete.
open input file: No such file or directory
[snip]

My guess is opkg isn't updating the kernel properly.
