Raspberry Pi Boot 1b / Uboot boot failure with large initramfs

Hi,
I am facing intermittend boot failures resulting in a data abort. Boot log
and environment attached below. The uboot is built with rpi_defconfig with
OF_BOARD to get uboot to pass through the FDT.
Note:
(1) If I boot this image directly using the RPI bootloader, the kernel
(with initramfs embedded) boots fine consistently.
(2) However, I get inconsistent failures with uboot. My gut tells me
memory is getting corrupted.
(3) Sometimes just adding one option to the bootargs breaks the next boot.
(4) It seems the FDT address changes slightly (see failed vs OK). Not sure
if this is expected from start.elf (I assume the FDT address is supplied to
u-boot).
(5) Is the size of the image overwriting anything in u-boot? I am not that
familiar with the u-boot memory map.
I boot using the following environment changes:
bootargs=bootslot=a console=ttyAMA0,115200 root=/dev/null
bootcmd=fatload mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} kernel.a.img ; bootz
${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdtcontroladdr}
Any ideas?
Regards,
Fred
