And now you expect me to guess your boot setting?

Assuming neither CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT nor CFG_RAMBOOT are set: check
u-boot image size against 256k, as the offset of environment seems to be
set to CFG_MONITOR_BASE + 0x40000

Or is ONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT set (would be the explanation why you mention
NAND at all ...)? With u-boot in NOR this indicates a general
code/configuration problem in your image.
