A current kernel boots fine on my Sheevaplug with the same SoC.

From what I can see on the web, the only real difference between the
DNS-325 and a Sheevaplug is that your D-Link device only has one
bank of DRAM fitted.

You could try modifying the code in initarm() that sets up the
bootconfig structure to just set up one dram block.
