Please note that PPCBoot is a dead  project.  You  are  wasting  your
time. Please use the successor project U-Boot instead.

Works fine on many boards.

As it should. "go" is not the command used to  boot  a  Linux  kernel
image.

It's a two-step procedure.

The first step is reading the documentation,  i.  e.  especially  the
README and then the DULG - see
http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual

The second step is using "make uImage" in you kernel tree  (or  "make
pImage" if the new alias is still not there).


Finally, please note that this is off topic here.  Please  send  such
requests to the u-boot-users mailing list instead.

Best regards,
