Hi Roger,

Can I get back on this topic. When USB and ethernet was working for me 
as stated above, I was not doing tftpboot. When I use tftpboot the 
images are obtained from the tftp server, but after kernel has started 
there is nothing in /sys/bus/usb/devices/.

I tried a 'usb stop' before booting the kernel, but that does not help 
either. As you stated to have tftpboot working, maybe you can help me.

Regards,
Arend
