This sounds like a problem with something not being able to fragment
packets on ethernet correctly.

I hope you're using either the Image or zImage files?  Also, a 6MB ramdisk
in 8MB isn't really going to leave much room at all for the user-mode.
Do you get any kernel messages from the serial port?  (and you did
specify "console=ttyS0,19200n8" or similar during the build?  Also,
check that r0 and r1 are being passed the correct values.
