Hi, Noticed an interesting behavior where adding a dcache flush kernel boot fail due to unaligned-accesses seems to go away. Full details: http://pastebin.com/kVBRWsbE Without dcache flush being added to my uenvcmd:
Kernel image @ 0x80200000 [ 0x000000 - 0x3e2690 ] data abort
MAYBE you should read doc/README.arm-unaligned-accesses

With dcache flush being added to my uenvcmd: complete boot
I think something of the form was highlighted here: http://marc.info/?l=u-boot&m=137276534624656&w=2
Not sure if there was any conclusion to the effect.
There may still be an underline bug, but the "bootz ${loadaddr}" issue i showed in that post was fixed very late in the v2013.07, i forget the commit, it may have been a day or two right before.
So looking at your pastebin.com log: "U-Boot 2013.07-rc2-00044-g1d28a6a" it might be worthwhile to re-test with v2013.07 final, specially since your using bootz...
(I've already been shipping a bootz enabled u-boot v2013.07 for the beagle-xm to end users)..
