Oooh no, i hoped i would never have to get familiar with SDRAM
initialization, of which i have no clue. But i feared that because "mtest"
failes with:

Pattern 00000000  Writing...

But how is this possible ? - u-boot gets successfully executed in SDRAM!

Thanks for your guess, at least i know in which direction to go for
bug hunting.
