This code comes from the i.MX28 ROM and means:

Requested data beyond the end of a section.

Maybe your entry point is wrong? I just had a look at our .bd file and
it looks like this:

sources {
        power_prep="./power_prep/power_prep";
        u_boot="/home/sha/dude/bosch/OSELAS.BSP-Bosch-SCM/platform-scm/build-target/barebox-2012.05.0/barebox";
}

section (0) {

        //----------------------------------------------------------
        // Power Supply initialization
        //----------------------------------------------------------

        load power_prep;
        load ivt (entry = power_prep:_start) > 0x8000;
        hab call 0x8000;

        //----------------------------------------------------------
        //  Load and call u_boot - ELF ARM image
        //----------------------------------------------------------

        load u_boot;
        load ivt (entry = u_boot:exception_vectors) > 0x8000;
        hab call 0x8000;

}
