Hi,
well, I'm not surprised about notaz' and aTc's boards, as these are from the very first production run where the stencil layer wasn't really good and most of the CPU boards had been reworked... so who knows.
The weird thing is though that I had aTcs Pyra running throughout the full GamesCom without any crash or problem, and it didn't really need some warming up.
I was using an older kernel / u-boot from Nikolaus at that time, so who knows if the issue sits there... though it doesn't make much sense, as it works when it's warmed up.
zmatts PCB was not really tested, and I remember it crashed once when booting it up at GC as well, so maybe it's a bit flakey.
Oh... and that PCB has also been used for a crash test... I threw the assembled Pyra on the ground, so maybe it received some damage here ;)
I'm having 20 tested PCBs from Nikolaus here, so I'll try to assemble and ship them to you ASAP.

Hmm that's not good, I thought only my broken board is suffering from that. I do always get the "U-Boot SPL" message though, where it hangs after that is random ranging from just after printing the "U-Boot SPL" line to somewhere in the middle of kernel booting.
Mine seems to behave exactly the same as yours, it takes 10-20 minutes of warming up before it'll go anywhere near booting linux, the first half of which it doesn't get beyond the the U-Boot SPL line. Once it does actually go into u-boot proper for the first time, it does get easier to boot it.
I haven't tried your u-boot patches yet, maybe they'll make it go slightly smoother on mine too.
I did have it running linux for reasonable amounts of time (>1 hour of mate desktop use), but that mostly depends on what mood it's in. Most of the time it just feezes a few minutes/seconds after getting to the login prompt (if it gets there at all).
