Now it does not freeze at that code, but it freezes later right after it
jumps to the code in ram. If I look at where u-boot should be in memory
I see the following:

0ffdc000 : c09566a0 45fd08eb c89576d5 01fd28eb  ..f.E.....v...(.
0ffdc010 : c0fb66d7 45fd08eb c8fb76a0 05fd28eb  ..f.E.....v...(.

0ffdc080 : c09566d5 45fd08eb c8fb66d5 45fd08eb  ..f.E.....f.E...
...

Something went wrong =) Any ideas?
