Scott,

are you talking about a possible hardware problem or misbehaving code ?

Does it look like something gets overwritten during initrd 
extraction/movement ?

The system has 512MB RAM which means that we need 2 BAT regs to map the 
memory. I've found comments in Freescale u-boot header files that 
currently a max of 256MB is supported. I never understood why ? Could 
this problem be related to this ?

Do I need to supply reserved memory regions ? I thought u-boot is doing 
so for initrd and the kernel don't need it ...


I'll rebuild u-boot with 256MB memory size and do an extra run with 
memory test - just to make sure.


Any hints where to look else ?


regards,
Andre
