Yes, the x-loader code is quite buggy. It is based on a very old u-boot stripped down to just handle NAND and MMC/SD and a single built-in load command.

And I think this line 515 is just missing a return NULL;
But it may not have an influence since x-loader uses the root of the FAT partition only.

One thing you should consider. Please check if the CONFIGS are properly defined for MLO and/or x-loader. So you may consider building two different rpm packages. One for SD cards (creating a "MLO" configured for loading from MMC plus "x-loader" for loading from NAND). I am using a shell script that uses sed to modify the CONFIG and compiles twice (and renames the resulting file).

BR,
Nikolaus
