I'm not sure it was a known limitation. A newer U-Boot with the 4 GB patch is now available in the unstable directory: http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/unstable/NeoFreerunner/u-boot-gta02v5-1.3.1+gitrb20cc520a22715fe7ff069b36b7dfdbb925a8e5a-r1.bin > > FWIW, even with the above patch, I'm having no success getting U-Boot to > > read a kernel from a 1 GB partition starting at 6 GB.

In my case they are 256 bytes, so the inode position is miscalculated.
