Hi, I'm the one who started the section "Booting from SDHC" in this wiki entry. Actually this title is wrong (what is my "fault", even it was intended) , as the kernel is booted from NAND and loading the rootfs isn't booting because it's done by the kernel. As I didn't manage to do a real boot from SDHC I'd be surprised if you managed it - and it even isn't described in the wiki entry - so my guess is that you are referring to "my" method. If I'm wrong please tell me and add it to the wiki, if not I just wanted to point out that this problem still exists and there is still no SDHC-support in u-boot.
