Minor correction - the parameter for ext2load and fatload is 
<device>:<partition>, so partition 2 would be "ext2load mmc 1:2 ...". 
IIRC this is documented in the online help for "fatload" but not for 
"ext2load".

For troubleshooting you can also run "mmcinit; ext2ls mmc 1:2 /" from 
the u-boot console to make sure that u-boot is able to access the 
partition, and to see what files are on the card. There is also a 
"fatls" command to look at a VFAT partition.
