Available system memory is only 384 MB (CAM0+CAM1+CAM2), which explains why Linux "removed" the ramdisk, when it has been copied right below 508M by U-Boot. Because at that time I was using initrd_high @ 1FC00000, which is outside of mapped RAM.

Is there an option to map less than 64M by a CAM entry?

CAM entries can be any power of 4 between 4K and 256M. However, the code currently is hardcoded to use no more than 3 entries. It shouldn't be too hard to change it to use a few more (see cam_mapin_ram(), mmu_mapin_ram(), and adjust_total_lowmem() in arch/powerpc/mm/fsl_booke_mmu.c).

Alternately, do you have highmem enabled? That will let you access the rest of the RAM that the CAM doesn't map, though I don't know if an initrd in highmem works.
