Yeah, that's been my experience as well. I've had the nano64 thing
since amount April and haven't seen this issue. I am using a different
power supply, but that's really the only change between now and last
week.
You've been very helpful with your time, thank you so much!

Would it be possible for you to print you u-boot environment details
so that I can compare to mine:

I don't know what in particular I'll need to check out, but I do notice this:
usb_boot=usb start; if usb dev ${devnum}; then setenv devtype usb; run
scan_dev_for_boot_part; fi
I'm concerned if I'm saving my bad values, they'll always be bad and
won't boot into the OS.
