Yes, sorry for indefinite description...
There is no message at all, except for bootrom 'RomBOOT' promt.

I neither change the AT91Bootstrap nor the CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE address,

Today I found out by GPIO debugging, that U-Boot seems to boot but prints
its startup messages to wrong USART with proper baudrate. I'll try to
find out, why there is no output on DBGU.
