Both the versions of U-Boot and Linux kernel are very,  very  old.  I
strongly recommend to use more current versions of the software.

Indeed. And what was the panic message? What was the contents of  the
log_buf area?

I'm afraid you will have to type the commands to display the contents
of the log buffer yourself - you did not give instructions how to log
in on your system.

And by the way: this is a Linux problem, so all of this is completely
off topic on this list.
