I want to join the discussion about booting the cubox. Solid Run has an updated version on u-boot available to install. http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/CuBox_Installer
"The CuBox Installer contains a newer version of U-Boot. This version adds support for EXT4 file systems, fast ethernet, and the bootcmd command. Follow the instructions for CuBox Installer. If an older version of U-Boot is detected, the installer will upgrade this first. After that, it is possible to quit to installer without installing a distribution."
With ext4 support it isn't necessary to have a separate ext2 partition to boot from. You can boot from the /boot directory in the root partition.
It also seems like the newer u-boot loads itself at 0x3600000. This causes problems if you try to load a ramdisk image at 0x3000000. You mean this commit: https://github.com/rabeeh/u-boot/commit/ca0c0b763601606e8f85c61774060ef92770...
If we change ramdiskaddr to 0x500 (to accomodate this) will that also (fatally) affect older versions of uboot?
