New u-boot is there, but unfortunately I'm not successful yet. First, I've tried 
to upgrade my installation, building u-boot-rpi2 and the Kernel with RPI2 kernelconf 
(added the ARM_NEW_PMAP option). The new u-boot-rpi2 and ubldr seem to work and the 
kernel is loaded, but when the kernel should start/boot, the RPI2 shuts down suddenly, 
all LED are off, nothing.

To keep sure that I don't make a mistake, I've build (independently from my installation) 
a completly new image, described in the Wiki (link below). But I run in the exacly same 
problem.

Here is my rpi2 image, build by following the wiki instructions (it's not working for 
me). For security reasons I've removed my ssh pubkey from /root/.ssh/.

Maybe someone can check and confirm or deny the behavior.
