It is *a lot* better !
I am finishing into a kernel panic, but it is a normal thing (bad initramfs).

Well, that was using the cuImage. When I try to use the uImage and the
FDT file, I am stopped here:
  Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
   Loading Ramdisk to 039d7000, end 03b7d996 ... OK
   Loading Device Tree to 007fa000, end 007fffff ... OK
