You were right...

Actually that was exactly the problem: I had overloaded the function
"initdram(int board)" in my "board.c" to initialize the SDRAM stuff. The
solution was to trash my own code and let U-Boot use the routines
defined in cpu/ppc4xx/sdram.c. Now it works perfectly.

Thank you very much for your help!
