Hmm, sounds worrying. I believe that both are in a working state.

Could you try running the same kernel, except with the data cache off?
Look in arch/arm/kernel/head-armv.S, and make the following change in
.Larmv4_flush_early, from:
orr r0, r0, #0x003d @ I...S..DPWC.M
to:
orr r0, r0, #0x0039 @ I...S..DPWC.M
This will reduce the performance of the StrongARM significantly, but it would
give an indication as to what the problem is. Let us know how you get on.
