We also had some trouble getting this board up and running with u-boot-0.4.0.
For our
case just the PBI (Page Based Interleave) SDRAM settings were not correct, since
the u-boot was only capable of handling DIMMS with four banks.

We changed the following line in board/mpc8266ads/mpc8266ads.c to get it to
work:
	sdam = cols - 6;
to
	sdam = cols + banks - 8;

But unfortunately this is up to now unconfirmed.

The u-boot-0.3.0 did not use PBI mode by default. That might be an explanation
for that.
