globally defining DEBUG gives:

U-Boot 2010.09-00102-gb4a7c1c-dirty (Oct 06 2010 - 19:13:59)
OpenRD_base

	U-Boot code: 00600000 -> 0065DFBC  BSS: -> 006A46E0
	SoC:   Kirkwood 88F6281_A0
	monitor len: 000A46E0
	ramsize: 00000000

Obviously RAM detection is bugged. This explains the following computations:

	TLB table at: ffff0000
	Top of RAM usable for U-Boot at: ffff0000
	Reserving 657k for U-Boot at: fff4b000
	Reserving 1152k for malloc() at: ffe2b000
	Reserving 48 Bytes for Board Info at: ffe2afd0
	Reserving 92 Bytes for Global Data at: ffe2af74
	New Stack Pointer is: ffe2af70


	RAM Configuration:
	Bank #0: 00000000 0 Bytes
	Bank #1: 00000000 0 Bytes
	Bank #2: 00000000 0 Bytes
	Bank #3: 00000000 3.3 GiB

This weird bank #3 one may be a consequence, or not, of the buggy RAM 
computation.

	relocation Offset is: ff94b000

Further debugging going on.

Amicalement,
