Thanks for the detail.

In my case, after more debug, it appears that where I was putting the
DTB in memory from u-boot was not working.   Using the addresses you
used gets things working again.  Thanks.

u-boot mainline (v2013.04) for BeagleBone has defaults that don't work
appear together:

U-Boot# printenv loadaddr
loadaddr=0x80200000
U-Boot# printenv fdtaddr
fdtaddr=0x80F80000

Changing fdtaddr around got things working again.  It's probably a good
idea to change the u-boot defaults to values that work, since that's a
likely starting point for people.

I'm now back to mainline booting well on both my original BeagleBone and
my BeagleBone black.

Thanks,

Kevin
