What works is using a supported flash device. I had swapped out the AMD parts for SST 39VF040. They program like AMDs but the sector sizes are different. Putting in the AMDs and re-flashing U-Boot solved the problem.

Thanks to all,

You might find more help on the u-boot users list.

Does resetting the SDRAM controller help?
