Hm... U-Boot 1.2.0 is very old. Please consider it obsolelte and
unsupported. Is there any special reason for not using current code?

You are almost certainly wron - either your hardware or your DDR
initialization is broken. See also the FAQ at
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootCrashAfterRelocation

Please also note that U-Boot related questions like this one should
better go to the U-Boot mailing list; see
