When booting from NAND, u-boot is loaded at that address.  It relocates 
to the end of memory, but the relocation process is incomplete and some 
things like strings still refer to the previous image.  When booting 
from NOR, it's less of a problem because the strings are referenced in 
flash (though it could still go wrong if the flash is reprogrammed).

For now, use a different address to load your kernel.
