How to upgrade the uboot-1.3.3 to latest

Hi,

I'm Using devkit8000 board, when trying to boot the kernel from MMC
card, it is going up to "Starting kernel ..." message and stopped. I
have tried changing the bootargs but no use. I have tried different
kernel (2.6.32) on the same board it is booting but the latest kernel
is not working.

Request to provide the valuable inputs on this issue to take it
forward, Below are the environment and log

Please share the link for latest u-boot source for devkit8000 and
compilation procedure.

I don't have a devkit8000. I'm not certain I'd do something with it
if I had one, but it would certainly increase the odds.

Why not use this opportunity to visit the home of u-boot[1] or their
git tree[2] and try the very latest u-boot out?

Please share your thoughts, why it is not booting the kernel.

Why do you assume it is the bootloader? I've found the eLinux page on
Linux kernel debug[3] to be fairly helpful.

[3] Kernel Debugging Tips - eLinux.org

The devkit8000 is supported by u-boot.
The flashed u-boot 1.3.3 uses the wrong machine-id. Thatswhy the kernel
doesn't boot.

Thank you for providing your valuable inputs.
I downloaded the latest U-boot, compiled and flashed in devkit board,
Now it is booting.
But I'm getting so many nand warnings and LCD is not coming up and
corresponding error logs are copied below:
Please provide the inputs on how to bring up LCD on devkit8000, Please
let me know if more information is required to conclude on this issue.
