This is obviously wrong, isn't it?
If you store the U-Boot image file with the file header and the
ramdisk image as payload at address 0x81600000, you _cannot_ use the
same address in the "initrd=0x81600000" argument, as this address is
the image header and not the ramdisk.
And anyway - why are you passing "initrd=" at all? Which part of the
documentation shows such an example? None, because it's wrong.

I am not surprised.

You pass incorrect parameters to the kernel.
