problem with u-boot

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM3730

hi all ,

I am trying to boot the DM368 custom Board from nand flash .i have downloaded the latest u-boot source code from this link.

http://arago-project.org/git/people/?p=sandeep/u-boot-davinci.git;a=summary

I am flashing Nand using SDcard boot and flashing utiltiy.

I am using nand flash 256MB size from Micron and the part no is MT29F2G08AADWP .

I have a problem with this u-boot. u-boot is not able to load the kernel image and i see the following errors.

Loading from nand0, offset 0x400000
NAND read from offset 400000 failed -74
