I just noticed that when I set the load and entry address to 0xa0000000 
(the start address of my external RAM), then bootm prints "starting 
kernel" and then U-boot resets itself twice....
I think I have no idea what's going on here. Is this a problem in my 
U-boot or is it already in the kernel?

Kind regards,
