74 is EBADMSG which means that the checksum is wrong. Does this sector
work with U-Boot?
U-Boot seems to work in software ecc mode whereas barebox uses hardware
ecc. Both have incompatible oob layouts. So either erase your nand and
write it again with babebox (in which case U-Boot won't be able to
access the nand) or switch barebox to software ecc (look for ecc_mode in
your board file).
