AW: Bad Magic Number when boot linux kernel with ppcboot (PPC860 board)

zImage, Why?

u-boot needs an u-boot image. Wolfgang did already say that vmlinux.UBoot is
that image. So use this image and nothing else. Also read the manual
especially this chapter

Seems for me that the serial configuration did not match. Are you sure you
chosen and cofigured the right UART? If so then debug with BDI2000.

The console output has nothing to do with ramdisk or nfs. So check your
configuration of the active console. An quick check, if your u-boot did not
pass the console parameters is to set the console parameter in linux. For
that you have to activate command line to yes and set the command line
parameter to 'console=ttySx'. x=0 is UART0 and x=1 is UART1. If this not
help then debug again with BDI.

This print might be ok.
