Good point, I missed that. However, that particular FAQ doesn't seem
to apply. I'm using 2.4.24+ (>2.4.5), the CFG_IMMR value doesn't seem
to apply (PPC405GPr, not a MPC8xx system) and I double-checked that
the bd_t structure matches. Besides, it's nowhere neer trying to access
any of the arguments yet.

I think it does access arguments. Linux  will  need  parameters  like
clock frequencies, memory sizes etc. Passing wrong paramteters is one
of the most frequent causes of that particular failure mode.

The stack at the time is still where U-Boot left it, near the end of
the 128Meg memory. Is this something I should address (pardon the pun)?

I don't think so.
