I am talking about initally booting U-Boot. The crash comes right after initializing the SDRAM, when it is moving U-Boot from the flash into SDRAM. So I can't run Linux. I have verified that this is a burst

You asked hot to verify that burst mode accesses are working correctly - the test with the best ratio of efficiency vs. reliability is to boot Linux :-)

read/write problem by inhibiting burst operations in the ORx register for the SDRAM. When I set OR_BI (SDRAM Burst Inhibit) U-Boot will move on to detecting the flash. If I allow bursts, I don't get to where U-Boot detects the flash, and the last printout I see is: New Stack Pointer is: 00f9ef78.

For the N+1st time:

As pointed out several hundret times before, this usually has nothing to do with the UPM setup, but is a consequence of missing or bad initialization sequence of your SDRAM chips.

Implement the chip init sequence as documented in the RAM chip documentation.
