That's a ramdisk image of more than 8 MB ...

And  this  is  not  the  current  code.  Current   code   is   commit
99a21389...,  and  a U-Boot image built from current code (like that
available at ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/linux/images/amcc/yosemite/uImage)
will identify itself as "Image Name: Linux-2.6.14-g99a21389".

And you don't pass *any* boot arguments to the kernel.

Because of not passing appropriate boot  arguments,  nor  configuring
the kernel correctly, your maximum ramdisk size is 4 MB = the default
value.

And here you see the consequences.

I don't know what exactly you did, but the current code  on  our  GIT
server as of now shows:

If you don't see commit 99a21389..., then you don't have the current code.
