I get something similar on the Soyo SY-6BA+ III board, only the address 
is different:

Copying coreboot to RAM.
Jumping to image.
Check CBFS header at fffeffe0
magic is ffffffff
ERROR: No valid CBFS header found!
CBFS:  Could not find file fallback/coreboot_ram
Jumping to image.

Booting from the vendor BIOS into Linux then swapping to the Coreboot 
ROM and typing 'reboot' made it get further, if that helps.
