Flash programmer via ethernet

Having some problems getting u-boot up on a new board using the psyent source.

The symptom is that the u-boot banner and prompt show up, blinking cursor and all, but that's it. It wont accept or echo any chars.

If I simply change the timer irq assignment in the mybd.h file to any other irq (even unassigned ones), then everything works except for the timer dependant functions; irqinfo shows no counting, ethernet stuff doesn't work.

I am certain my address and irq assignments for the timer are correct. I have tested the timer and its irq with a separate piece of code and it is working.

The same basic HW worked with a previous version of u-boot.
