What initialization is your BDI doing? How does it compare to the actual initialization that works? Answering those two questions should be enlightening.

It is most likely that the RAM errors happen when you use bust mode accesses - which happens a lot when Linux starts working. guess you know that there are already pretty extensive memory tests available in U-Boot (see the post/ code).
The problem is, all these tests will not exercise burts mode accesses the same way as Linux will do it, especially when Linux starts moving lot's of data over the network (DMA).

Weird, I was trying to boot with the BDI connected, i.e. issuing a go from the BDI> as there was a problem with the HRCW. Now we've fixed that (HRCW) and if I do a power reset boot without the BDI, the problem went away. It is still there with a BDI start. Well thanks for the help; we have the kernel up and running now.
