Is your application expected to be unhosted/standalone? There are some differences for hosted and unhosted ones in linker script .ld file as you should know.

Have you tried to load your application manually via DS-5 debugger after preloader had executed?

And also please show us your mkimage command. There is an issue with entry point. In Altera unhosted example entry point is set to 0x0 but I had to change it to 0x100040 (in my case) and after that my app started successfully from SDMMC FAT.
