If you don't even see the Linux header, i.e. the "Linux version ..."
then the method either doesn't work (wrong physical address?) or Linux
did not start at all.  Very strange indeed.

If I had access to your hardware, then at this stage I would hook up a
JTAG debugger and actually trace the transition from U-Boot to the
kernel.  I'm sorry that I don't have any more ideas currently.

Cheers
  Detlev
