The u-boot for power46 never did work with Revision 2204 (and possibly others). It needs an updated package, which I still haven't gotten around to putting online anywhere; mostly because it's a bit of a "phantom" build which Stskeeps somehow got working. If I do a make clean then it steadfastly refuses to build any more, but I can successfully edit the config files and make it 0x38000 in size, and also add Matan's patches to remove watchdog reset amongst others, and then rebuild it (as long as I do not clean first). It's a bit odd but it does definitely work on my N900, which is a 2204.
The old package, based on the sterling work done by ali1234

, was unfortunately the cause of all the "Starting kernel..." and then getting no further problems people were having, which could only be resolved by a battery pull (and resulted in many distrusting u-boot because it was notoriously a PITA to remove).
