What version of buildroot are you using or are you using OE? You most likely
need to update u-boot to version 1.2 and follow the new methodology for
flashing the uImage and rootfs images. In earlier buildroot versions that
targeted systems with u-boot 1.1.4 there was just one combined image created
that you needed to flash. Now with uboot 1.2 the flash has three partitions.
One for u-boot, one for the uImage (kernel) and one for rootfs. SO the
buildprocess now create 2 images for reflashing the device using a new two
step process. There is a lot more info in the archives, but I suspect this
is what you are running into.
Be careful when reflashing u-boot because improper procedure will brick
your board.
