I have the same problem as Tim on my OSK using latest l-o master.
Debugging this with Tony, we realized his OSK has a 1623 whereas mine
(and presumably Tim's) has an omap1611.  The SRAM code uses different
SRAM sizes for 1611 and 1610/1623.

I have no idea what the "right" values of the SRAM size are for these
parts.  

Setting it to 256k got it booting for me, so will send a patch for that
shortly.
