3835d69a6c70^ is 43fc9d2, that one does fine.

Yes, that's an U-Boot as provided by Jeff Doozan two years ago:

    U-Boot 2010.09 (Oct 23 2010 - 11:49:22)
    Marvell-Dockstar/Pogoplug by Jeff Doozan

So it seemed I should dare an upgrade - I'm quite afraid of bricking
the dockstar so I'm rather reluctant to do these things. Now it's[1]

    U-Boot 2011.12 (Feb 12 2012 - 21:33:07)
    Seagate FreeAgent DockStar

and all the trouble is gone. The dockstar boots 3835d69, and the
v3.4.10 I initially discovered trouble with. Also "make Image" yields
an image now that boots without a flaw.

I'll leave up to you what to do next. I still have another dockstar
with an old U-Boot installed. If I should do further tests, please let
me know in the next days. If you declare "Upgrade your U-Boot" as
resolution for that ticket, no problem for me.

Thanks for your time in that matter,

    Christoph
