sure, on this board http://sysam.it/cff_stmark2.html
there are 128MB of ddr2.
External SDRAM is accessible, at least without any mmc support enabled,
from 0x40000000.
I have following test config:
GNU nano 2.8.6 File: arch/m68k/configs/stmark2_defconfig
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="stmark2-001"

I tried still yesterday a bit, but seems there is no much support for
earlyprintk / low level debug for this architecture.
In case i can try with a gpio toggling routine, at least to find
where kernel stops.
The attached patch, is a quick and dirty early console output method.
It works for me on the m5475, should work for you "as is" on the 5441x too.
It is kind of an early printk. Of course it still needs the early
kernel boot to have succeeded before you will get anything much coming out.
But it is worth trying.
I am wondering if the non-0 base RAM may be a problem. I have only run
the MMU enabled code on platforms with 0 based RAM so far. But lets see if
the early console trace attached gives us anything before digging into that.
I have some news, found the exact point where the kernel stops,
it is a " panic("Out of memory");" but you can check
the comments in the diff below to see what exactly happen:

So trying now to understand why that

looks as an emtty list.
