0.90 U-Boot version does not include the SD card voltage fix.

You should try the update procedure pointed by Christer.
It is done with a script utility that I wrote.
Although, several prerequisites are required:
1) The SPI flash has to be accessible via the MTD framework
2) Tools: diff, grep, sed, hexdump, dd, flash_erase.

The Ubuntu image and Linux kernel released by Compulab meet the
requirements above, so can be used for the U-Boot update procedure.

The update can also be done from U-Boot console, but has more
place for a mistake.

You can always contact me if you have problems with the update.

Good luck!
