One of the changes that I have noticed in the guide, when I visited 
recently after a long absence is that how much of the details are hidden 
inside the build script. It's less educational this way!

I have a question though, is the small text means it has jump from MLO to 
u-boot already and the failure inside u-boot or there is a possibility that 
it didn't see the u-boot?
