Saveenv doesnt seem to be working

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I am using my Rev c2 board with all original firmware
2. I give the two commands - setenv bootcmd ... and setenv bootargs ... as
given on the beagleboard beginners page
3. Then I say boot

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to get the root prompt of angstrom, and i should be able to log in
as root. Instead, after the angstrom login prompt comes up, the serial baud
rate has changed, and whatever i type comes up as garbage echoed from the
board!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Rev C2. Angstrom running on board and Ubuntu on PC.

Are you using a version of u-boot that ignores what setenv saves?

Saveenv is supposed to happen even when there is no card present, right? Or is 
there
some flaw in my understanding here?

1. And how do i check which version od U-boot i'm using? I got it from the link 
given
in the Beagle Board Beginners page (http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardBeginners). 

2. What is more surprising is that the behaviour is erratic. Sometimes the 
prompt
comes up fine after login, sometimes not.
