1. Wolfgang is correct -- you should fix the SDRAM.
2. Also, though: the ICCR and DCCR apply when the MMU
is off. Memory parameters for when the MMU is enabled
is done via the W/I/M/G bits in the TLB entries.

May I ask why you use PPCBoot (a dead project) instead of the
successor project U-Boot?

This is a very common problem. Seems 99% of all people who attempt to
port U-Boot see this soner or later.

Don't. The problem will bit you later again. Solve problems as they
appear.
