The new mainline U-Boot cannot be installed

[ouchyoung]

I didn't notice archlinux arm had released new U-boot until I tried to reinstall my Goflex Home tonight. The new version of archlinux arm didn't work at all with the old U-boot. So I tried to reinstall an old one and then tried to update my U-boot. However, when I tried to do this, it reported like this:

Any mistake I made? Thank you!

Try rebooting the GF, then try again.

Reboot didn't help... However, the SH file in the installation guide did help.

I'd be quite appreciative if you would elaborate. I've been stuck with this for a while and all my attempts to set the MAC address in U-Boot have failed to resolve the problem.

Thanks in advance.
