Did you locally fix arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/kirkwood/timer.c to not access uninitialized data (variables timestamp and lastdec) before relocation? Otherwise timer_init() will write into the relocation table which may lead to your problem. If you change unrelated code, timer_init() will overwrite some other relocation table entries and U-Boot seems to work. @Albert: If your patch is applied without fixing the accesses to BSS before relocation, some ARM ports will be broken even when compiling with ELDK 4.2.
